With our partners in the Peace Implementation Council, the UK is focused on rapidly identifying and appointing a suitable successor and maintaining engagement on BiH stability. In parallel, we continue to engage with political leaders in BiH and neighbouring countries to encourage constructive engagement and deter destabilising actors
