The Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Igor Kalabuhov, told RTRS that the phrase “malign Russian influence” promoted by Federal Sarajevo is a provocation and part of the anti-Russian Western policy being pursued in Europe.
He emphasized that Russia conducts a balanced policy and remains open to developing relations with both entities and all three constituent peoples.
“We believe that it is precisely Western policy that has led to the destabilization of the situation in BiH. I have already said that we see that illegitimate High Representative as the creator of all the troubles here, and that is why we are determined to continue pursuing a balanced policy in the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement and in developing a strategic partnership with Srpska,” Kalabuhov stated.
