We will not speculate on the alleged statements of the foreign statesman, it was told for "Avaz" from the United States Embassy in B&H, after today the member of the Presidency of B&H Željko Komšić confirmed that the President of the Republic of Slovenia Borut Pahor, during a recent visit, during the meeting with members of the Presidency B&H said that there have been more and more voices in Europe lately about the need to complete the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

Attitude of the United States

- The position of the USA on this issue is well known and remains unchanged. We are committed to the principles of Dayton - Bosnia and Herzegovina is a democratic, multiethnic, sovereign and independent state with unquestionable territorial integrity. As for the status of B&H, it is not the opinions about it that are important, but the facts and international law - they said.

They added that the territorial integrity and sovereignty of B&H are guaranteed by the Dayton Peace Agreement.


Violation of the Dayton Peace Agreement

- Neither Dayton, nor the Constitution of B&H give the right of secession to either of the two entities. Any action aimed at dismantling B&H is a violation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. The primary goal of secessionist rhetoric is to move away from the hard work and responsible dialogue needed for reforms that would restore citizens' trust, encourage economic recovery, and contribute to B&H's progress in achieving EU goals. No entity has a future outside B&H - they are categorical.
