Portugal supports the renewal of the mandate of the European Union-led peacekeeping force (EUFOR) Operation Althea by the Security Council.

12. “Efforts must be enhanced to reach an agreement so that a new Council of Ministers can be formed without delay. Portugal calls on Bosnian political leaders to fully address their responsibilities and to meet the legitimate expectations and needs of their people. That requires effective political will, inclusive dialogue and capacity for compromise. However, Portugal believes that the challenges that Bosnia and Herzegovina faces are not insurmountable. The solutions naturally lie within Bosnia and Herzegovina. But, on the other hand, the international community must stay fully engaged with Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

13. “Portugal naturally shares the views expressed in the statement to be made later by the observer of the European Union, but I would also like to emphasize some issues of particular concern to my country. For the past 13 months, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been facing a serious political impasse that has affected the development of national policies as well as the country's progress towards integration into the European Union. For instance, the State budget for 2011 has not yet been adopted, and there is no global fiscal framework for 2011-2013. This worrying situation creates a deadlock on much-needed internal and external action, which is detrimental to Bosnia's social and economic development. But, of course, the most important issue is that of the new Government.”
