Bećirović's message to Sattler: The EU has an obligation to preserve peace and security in BiH and the region

(Patria) - BiH Presidency member Denis Bećirović spoke with the Head of the European Union Delegation to BiH, Johann Sattler, about the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bećirović pointed out to Sattler the unconstitutional and anti-Dayton actions of the authorities of the BiH entity of RS, and stated that it is necessary for the competent international institutions to urgently take the necessary steps to protect the constitutional order in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On that occasion, he also handed Sattler the White Book of anti-Dayton acts by the authorities of the BiH entity of RS, and called on the European Union to take concrete steps to preserve peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including increasing the number of EUFOR soldiers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- Domestic and international representatives must not turn a blind eye to the fact that an unprecedented attack on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the fundamental provisions of the Dayton Peace Agreement is still ongoing.

Without returning to the framework of constitutionality and legality, it is impossible to seriously resolve any issue in our country. This must be the number one priority for both international and domestic officials.

The European Union is one of the witnesses to the Dayton Peace Agreement and has an international obligation to preserve peace and security in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region - said Bećirović.

He expressed full commitment to accelerating the European path of Bosnia and Herzegovina, emphasizing that he himself has initiated a series of activities to dynamize that path.

- However, at this moment, all domestic and international officials must focus on defending the constitutional order of the state as a fundamental prerequisite for preserving peace and stability. Bosnia and Herzegovina is at a major crossroads.

The international community must not allow Dodik, by buying time and using tactical moves to divert attention from the attack on the constitutional order, to undermine the OHR and the BiH Constitutional Court, as this would be an introduction to a state of anarchy with unforeseeable consequences - Bećirović stressed.

During the conversation, Sattler said that Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to accelerate the process of European integration.

He emphasized that the policy that destabilizes the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina should stop, and that efforts should be focused on solving the life issues of the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The European Union is a friend offering a hand, and politicians in Bosnia and Herzegovina should accept it, Sattler said.
