Explanation of Vote Abstention - Bosnia & Herzegovina
Statement 23 July 2021
I would like to set out Ireland’s position on this issue and decision to abstain from today’s vote.
Ireland fully supports the Office of the High Representative and believes that its role remains vital to the work of building a stable and prosperous future for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We welcome the PIC Steering Board decision on the appointment of Mr Christian Schmidt as High Representative and look forward to working with him.
Our clear view is that the expression of support by this Council is not legally necessary for the decision of the PIC Steering Body to appoint a new High Representative to take effect. We are open in principle to a resolution welcoming and agreeing to the appointment of the new High Representative.
