BEIJING, Nov 6 (XINHUA/APP):High Representative for Bosnia-Herzegovina Valentin Inzko on Tuesday urged the international community to help Bosnia-Herzegovina from moving backward.
“The fundamental issue that we must all consider is not only how do we help Bosnia-Herzegovina continue to face its challenges going forward, but more importantly, how do we prevent Bosnia-Herzegovina from going backward,” Inzko told the UN Security Council.
The current trends and various political pronouncements certainly indicate an ongoing effort to roll back the reforms that have carried the country this far,” he added.

Next year marks the 25th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement that put an end to the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. Unfortunately, these 25 years have not met the expectations of many citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina or the international community, said Inzko.
“We must recognize backsliding when it occurs, and in such instances, acknowledge that our mission is not yet complete,” he added.
