The Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denis Becirovic, had an official meeting with King Charles III of the United Kingdom during his stay in the UK. This meeting coincided with the significant gathering of European leaders at the European Political Community summit, hosted by the United Kingdom.

The summit brought together leaders from European countries, EU institutions, NATO, the Council of Europe, and the OSCE. In a statement, Becirovic emphasized the new UK government's clear intention to renew its relationship with Europe and to take a leading role in addressing major common issues.

The UK government highlighted the necessity of collaborative efforts to find solutions for critical issues such as illegal migration, democratic integrity, and energy security. The summit underscored the united support of European and NATO allies in response to the increasing Russian aggression. Leaders encouraged continued international military and financial support for Ukraine.

Prime Minister Starmer addressed the summit, stating, “We cannot allow the challenges of the recent past to define our relationship in the future. European security is a top priority for this government’s foreign policy and defence strategy. I am focused on using this moment to renew our relations with Europe.”

This meeting and summit reflect a pivotal moment for UK-European relations and the collective effort to tackle global challenges.
