Bećirović speaks with Special Envoy of the French Republic René Troccaz: Strengthen bilateral cooperation

(Patria) - Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Denis Bećirović met in Dayton, as part of the activities of the international conference marking the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, with the Special Envoy of the French Republic for the Western Balkans
René Troccaz.

Bećirović expressed gratitude to Troccaz for the consistent support that the French Republic and its President Macron provide to the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He particularly thanked for the active engagement of the French Republic within the EU and UN, as well as bilaterally, all with the aim of removing threats to the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, peace and security.

Bećirović emphasized that the proactive role of France, as one of the leading members of the EU and NATO, is of immense importance for our country, especially at a time when brutal attacks by the irresponsible leadership of the BiH entity of the RS on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina are ongoing.

In light of marking three decades of the Dayton Peace Agreement, Bećirović pointed out that French engagement in the Western Balkans is important not only for preserving peace, but also for strengthening the Euro-Atlantic perspective of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He stressed that Bosnia and Herzegovina sees the French Republic as one of the key
partners in achieving strategic goals - membership in NATO and the EU and strengthening regional
cooperation.

Bećirović particularly pointed out that the final and binding decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be respected. It is an independent and professional institution that, in these difficult times, has adopted all decisions unanimously and based on legal facts. The entity assembly of the RS was obliged to appoint two judges to the Constitutional Court of BiH. Unfortunately, they are violating the fundamental provisions of the Constitution of BiH and trying to obstruct even the work of this institution. This is a completely wrong approach, because the Constitutional Court of BiH functions in accordance with the Constitution of BiH and in the interest of all citizens and peoples.

Mutual readiness was confirmed for the continuation of open political dialogue, and strengthening
bilateral cooperation and joint action, which includes the European future of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, as well as the stability and security of the Western Balkans.
