The United Kingdom remains committed to the continuing role of the High Representative an…

Mr. Nebenzia (Russian Federation)
Regrettably, we have concluded that the quality of the reports of the High Representative for the Implementation of the Peace Agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina gets worse every time.

Mr. Dronjic (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
