SARAJEVO, October 14 (FENA) - The Russian Federation does not recognize the legitimacy of the new High Representative Christian Schmidt and in this regard did not participate in any way in the discussion and elaboration of the content of the PIC Board statement with its moderation, the Russian Embassy in BiH said today on the occasion of the statement of the Peace Implementation Council Steering Board Ambassadors (PIC SBA).
The statement from the Russian Embassy states that they had proposed a note "The Russian Federation does not consider the High Representative legitimate without the necessary decision of the UN Security Council and does not agree with the text of the statement."
"Unfortunately, our partners have violated the order of the conduct of the PIC Steering Board and, despite our position, arbitrarily published a "standard note". In this regard, we emphasize that this statement does not reflect the views of the entire international community in BiH and we call for ignoring it," it is said in the statement of the Russian Embassy.
