Bosnia and Herzegovina: Politics and Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what contingency planning her Department has undertaken in the event that the Peace Implementation Council is unable to reach agreement on a successor or continuation arrangements for the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The UK is committed to upholding the peace, stability and constitutional order in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), in line with the Dayton Peace Agreement. We support maintaining the role of a fully empowered High Representative to uphold this. 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
