Bosnia and Herzegovina: Politics and Government

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that they impose sanctions on individuals who threaten Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Answer

The UK fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The UK sanctioned Republika Srpska entity leaders Milorad Dodik and Zeljka Cvijanovic in April 2022 for their attempts to undermine the legitimacy and functionality of BiH. The UK has applied sanctions to others since then. It is UK Government policy not to speculate on future designations, as doing so risks undermining the impact of sanctions.
