Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has with the High Representative to Bosnia and Herzegovina on the stability of the Western Balkans.

The UK supports the role played by the High Representative and his Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). We are in regular contact with him, including through the Steering Board of Ambassadors. In the absence of domestic political will, he has an important part to play in implementing the Dayton Peace Agreement and supporting the framework for a prosperous future. Following his imposition of a package of measures to improve the functionality of the Federation of BiH, domestic political actors must work together to implement the election results in a timely fashion and support the reforms needed for progress on BiH's Euro-Atlantic path.
