AS DELIVERED
Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you, High Representative Schmidt, for briefing us today and for your most recent report. I also welcome the participation of the Chairperson of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Mr. President, I will be brief. The United States remains committed to stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the Dayton Peace Agreement.
We have watched recent events in Bosnia and Herzegovina with concern. We urge political leaders to de-escalate and avoid actions that could increase instability or violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to engage in constructive dialogue that leads to greater stability.
The United States firmly opposes secession and destabilizing rhetoric. And as has been echoed around this table – we support Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and multi-ethnic character.
Rooted in the Dayton Peace Accords, we welcome the contribution EUFOR’s Operation ALTHEA makes to a safe and secure environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We recognize the importance of the Office of the High Representative in supporting implementation of the civilian aspects of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
The United States supports Bosnia and Herzegovina as it works to secure the future of all its citizens. Every member of this Council should support Bosnia and Herzegovina achieving the same.
Thank you, Mr. President.
