Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency Chairman, Zeljko Komsic, and OSCE Secretary General, Helga Maria Schmid, discussed the relations between political actors in BiH and the need to unblock the work of state institutions during their meeting on Tuesday and emphasised the necessity to implement key reforms in the country.

The two stressed the need for electoral reform, the reform of the judiciary and the education system, and the fight against corruption and crime, a Presidency statement said.

Komsic pointed out that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina is endangered and that this can have a negative impact on the entire region, but also on Europe.

The OSCE Secretary General stressed that a policy of division will not bring progress to anyone, but will negatively affect the economy and investments in BiH, as well as the lives of all its citizens.

The topic of the meeting was the reform of the election process, the necessity of holding the General Elections next year, and the implementation of all five judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.
