EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has said the European Union is determined to help resolve the deadlock over the appointment of a new international peace envoy for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The role became vacant after German diplomat Christian Schmidt resigned in May. Reuters reported that EU countries and the United States have backed different candidates, creating an impasse over the future High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Kallas said during a visit to Bosnia that the role remained important for stability and for the country’s EU accession path. She also warned that delays to reforms could put further EU funding at risk.
