Inzko and Grabar-Kitarović discussed the political situation in BiH

High Representative Valentin Inzko met today in Sarajevo with Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, reports the Patria News Agency.  

They discussed the current political situation in BiH, particularly the obligation of Bosnian-Herzegovinian authorities to fully respect the Peace Agreement and the new phase in Bosnia and Herzegovina's efforts to join the European Union through the recently signed reform agenda.

The High Representative thanked President Grabar-Kitarović for the role the Republic of Croatia has played in recent years, as one of the signatories of the Dayton Peace Agreement and a member of the European Union, in supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina.

-As I have said many times, Croatia is a positive example for Bosnia and Herzegovina of how decisive progress can be made on the Euro-Atlantic path when there is political will to implement reforms in the interest of all citizens, said the High Representative.

President Grabar-Kitarović emphasized in the conversation that the survival and remaining of the Croatian people in BiH is important and that the principles of the Dayton Agreement must be respected, guaranteeing the equal status of the Croatian people.

High Representative Inzko made it clear that the RS referendum is a serious and direct threat to the Peace Agreement that risks setting this country back, and that it must be set aside so that the country's leaders can focus on real reforms for the benefit of citizens, the OHR announced.
