German Foreign Minister to Visit Sarajevo, Will Meet Only with Schmidt and Cvijanović!

(Patria) - German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday, November 16.

The Minister will meet in Sarajevo with the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Christian Schmidt, as well as with the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Željka Cvijanović.

The focus of the talks will be the evaluation of the role of the High Representative for security and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 30 years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, as well as shaping the future of the country, with a special emphasis on the challenges in the process of joining the European Union.

This visit to Sarajevo marks the beginning of a trip to all six Western Balkan countries, the first time a German Foreign Minister has visited all countries in the region within a single trip: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, and North Macedonia.

Germany views the Western Balkans as part of the European family and supports the region on its path to the European Union, particularly through the Berlin Process. The Berlin Process has introduced new dynamics in the approximation of Western Balkan countries to the European Union and emphasizes Germany's commitment to a stable and European-integrated region.
