Bosnia and Herzegovina: Politics and Government

Asked by Alicia KearnsConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 17 October 2024UIN 9107

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the Government considers that the All-Serb Assembly Declaration of June 2024, made by the Republic of Serbia and Republika Srpska, is compatible with the Dayton Agreement.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The UK Government considers that a number of elements in the Declaration of 8 June do not align with the Dayton Peace Agreement. The UK is firmly committed to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character and completely oppose statements supporting secessionism or stoking division. We will continue to work closely with our allies in the EU and US to ensure the upholding of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
