WASHINGTON, April 28 (FENA) - State Department Counselor Derek Chollet called BiH leaders to discuss BiH's progress on key reforms necessary for greater prosperity, transparent institutions, freer and fairer elections, stronger rule of law, and deeper partnership with Euro-Atlantic institutions, the US Embassy in Sarajevo posted a message from the State Department on its Twitter account.
The US Embassy stated that Chollet reaffirmed the Secretary's message, noting strong U.S. support for BiH sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"BiH has a crucial window in this non-election year to carry out electoral reforms including limited constitutional reform to implement ECtHR rulings, election law changes to address BiH Constitutional Court judgments, and technical reforms to strengthen election integrity. These reforms are not just about implementing legally-binding court judgments to ensure greater equality, but also about mitigating fraud, and ensuring citizens can hold their leaders accountable for corruption and mismanagement -- all crucial safeguards for building a stronger democracy," the State Department announced.
The United States expects BiH leaders to deliver on their commitments to advance crucial reforms.
"Good faith dialogue, not inflammatory rhetoric and maximalist demands, will be what improves services, brings jobs, and strengthens the people of BiH's confidence in their government," concluded Chollet.
