Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs has to meet with Christian Schmidt the EU's High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The UK remains in close contact with the High Representative, Christian Schmidt. Mr Schmidt and the Office of the High Representative continue to have the UK's full support, including for the use of executive powers should the situation require it. Mr Schmidt has recently confirmed that he intends to visit the UK in early December. His programme is not yet finalised, but we hope that he will have the opportunity to meet a range of HMG Ministers and senior officials as well as parliamentarians and others.
