  1. “I thank the Permanent Representative of Germany, Mr. Heusgen, for his question. Related to the statement we heard today by Ms. Korjenie, one of our briefers, I would like to express my support of what was said by the Permanent Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The message was that all the war crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be prosecuted and all victims and survivors respected, regardless of their ethnicity or religious affiliation. We believe that that is the right path, that of approaching perpetrators and victims in an impartial and unbiased way. That is the right path to reconciliation. The meeting rose at 12.15 pm.”

  2. “We believe that, just like with other aspiring countries in the region, the negotiation process will not be burdened by the ongoing challenges within the European Union, and that the EU will instead demonstrate its firm resolve to continuing the process by keeping the question of the Western Balkans' accession high on its agenda. Serbia has a lasting commitment to peace, stability, security and cooperation at both the regional and international levels. To that end, it continues to contribute to strengthening stability, democratization, economic development and social prosperity, based on the principles of reconciliation, good neighbourliness, dialogue and compromise. We trust and believe that those can be achieved by way of mutual respect and the exclusion of counter-productive partisan politicking.”

  3. “Bosnia and Herzegovina is among my country's key bilateral partners and, in that context, Serbia is firmly committed to the vision of good neighbourliness. As an EU candidate-country, Serbia renders selfless support to other candidates and potential candidate countries on their reform road towards the European Union. We welcome each and every one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's successes along that road, in line with the European Commission's establishment of 14 priorities that Bosnia and Herzegovina must meet in order to open accession negotiations. In that connection, Serbia is ready to share its experience accumulated from its own accession negotiations in hopes that our neighbour, too, will commence those negotiations soon.”

  4. “That cooperation takes place in accordance with the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA). In that context, I would like to point out that the two countries have been affected by the 100 per cent increase of the destabilizing tariffs on their goods by the Provisional Institutions of Self- Government in Pristina. It is a senseless act contrary to all regional processes and commitments, including CEFTA. The international community is expected to exercise influence on the Provisional Institutions of civil Self-Government in Pristina to remove the tariffs and normalize trade in the region. Regional cooperation and European integration based on stability, democratization, economic development and social prosperity are Serbia's pre-eminent foreign policy priorities.”

  5. “A number of visits have been made recently in the context of my country's endeavours to promote cooperation with its neighbours, including Bosnia and Herzegovina. The two countries have thus demonstrated their commitment to building bilateral relations and upgrading regional ones while proceeding from European and universal values and based on understanding, compromise and cooperation. For many years now, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been one of Serbia's most important foreign trading partners. From January to September of this year, the trade exchange amounted to over €l.5 billion, which is indicative of the rising trend in strengthened economic cooperation between the two countries. With over €1. billion, Serbia is the largest foreign investor in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  6. “Serbia calls on all participants in the political processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as on the representatives of the international community, to demonstrate greater responsibility and refrain from the use of rhetoric aimed at disqualifying other political actors, especially those elected democratically. Dialogue within the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only way to raise the level of confidence and achieve a compromise solution to the issues relevant for the future development of Bosnia and Herzegovina and, by extension, to the stability of the region. As in the past, my country will do all it can to make a constructive contribution in that regard. Bilaterally, Serbia continues to intensify political dialogue with Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

  7. “Serbia shares the concerns of the High Representative over the destabilizing rhetoric in statements of many political leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina and calls on all the actors, inside and outside the country, to demonstrate the necessary level ofresponsibility and to refrain from mutual accusations. We are worried in particular by the taking of, or the threat to take, one-sided actions contrary to the letter and spirit of the Dayton Agreement. I note that the Agreement is the result of a compromise and reflects a delicate balance, achieved painstakingly, from among opposing concepts of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, attempts to unbalance the model set up 25 years ago are hardly conducive to this country's full and lasting stabilization.”

  8. “On many occasions, Serbia expressed its support for the speedy formation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutions at all levels, in accordance with the results of the parliamentary elections held in October 2018, which would make a significant contribution to the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. As more than a year has elapsed since the elections, there is no justification for postponing the formation of its institutions any longer, especially its Council of Ministers, which should be constituted without preconditions, on the basis ofthe Constitution ofBosnia and Herzegovina and the democratic will of its citizens.”

  9. “I thank the members of the Security Council, the High Representative and the other speakers for their statements today. Serbia's position in respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina is widely known, confirmed time and again and not in dispute. So is its position in respect of the Dayton Peace Agreement - after all, Serbia is a guarantor of that Agreement. My country supports Bosnia and Herzegovina as one State with two entities - the Republic of Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina * just as it supports the decisions taken by that country in accordance with the competencies and agreements ofits three constituent peoples, namely, the Serbs, the Croats and the Bosniaks.”
