The Bosniak and Croat members of Bosnia-Herzegovina s tripartite presidency on December 15 refused to meet with visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following his comments about the peace agreement that ended the Bosnian War in the mid-1990s.
Sefik Dzaferovic and Zeljko Komsic said in a joint statement that their decision had been prompted by the fact that Lavrov s remarks on December 14 contradict Bosnia s official position.
Lavrov had been due to meet all three members of the country’s tripartite presidency at the end of his visit which began on December 14, the anniversary of the signing of the Dayton agreement that ended the 1992-1995 Bosnian War.
