The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she has taken to help support democratic reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

I refer the Rt Hon Member to the answer provided on 9 September 2025 to Question 74449. Subsequent to that, in December 2025, the Peace Implementation Council and representatives of political parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) met to discuss long‑term solutions to BiH's challenges, including democratic reform. The UK will continue to work with international partners, including the Council of Europe and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, and local actors in BiH to promote democratic rights and support reform.
