Future of BiH must be decided by its peoples and elected representatives

Nebenzya criticizes Western countries over political situation in BiH
During the UN Security Council session on BiH, Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya criticized Western countries for their role in the country’s political difficulties.
Nebenzya argued that Western countries had created many of the problems facing BiH and were now attempting to shift responsibility onto Republika Srpska.
According to the Russian ambassador, Republika Srpska had taken decisive steps to defend the Dayton Peace Agreement.
Minić’s statement followed Nebenzya’s remarks at the Security Council, reaffirming Republika Srpska’s position that the Dayton framework, constitutional competencies and agreements among domestic political representatives must remain the foundation of BiH’s political future.
