Bećirović meets with French Special Envoy René Troccaz

(Patria) - BiH Presidency member Denis Bećirović held a meeting with René Troccaz, the French Special Envoy for the Western Balkans. During the meeting, they discussed the current security and political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the upcoming visit of BiH Presidency member Denis Bećirović to the French Republic, which includes a planned meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Bećirović emphasized that the role of the French Republic, as one of the key members of the European Union (EU) and NATO, is of exceptional importance for preserving peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the entire region. He pointed out that protecting the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina is of essential importance, as the collapse of the constitutional order would be a prelude to anarchy with unforeseeable consequences.

The BiH Presidency member particularly highlighted the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina has fully aligned its foreign policy with the EU's foreign and security policy over the past three years. This clearly confirms that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a reliable ally of the EU and the West, but also serves as additional proof of the country's commitment to integration into Euro-Atlantic associations. Bosnia and Herzegovina will not deviate from its EU and NATO path, regardless of all pressures and threats, as well as the irresponsible actions of some domestic political actors who seek to change the unanimously established foreign policy orientation of our country. The policy of Bosnia and Herzegovina's accession to full membership in the EU and NATO has no serious alternative.

French Special Envoy René Troccaz confirmed the strong support of the French Republic for the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He emphasized the importance of respecting the legal order of Bosnia and Herzegovina and continuing the process of Bosnia and Herzegovina's integration into the EU.

The interlocutors noted that French engagement within the EU and NATO, including support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's European and Euro-Atlantic path, represents an important pillar for continuing reforms and strengthening democratic institutions in our country.

Incidentally, this is the fifth meeting between Bećirović and Troccaz in the past year, which also confirms the continuous and open political dialogue between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the French Republic.
