Zeljko Komsic, Bosnia Presidency Chairman, spoke to Bundestag members Josip Juratovic and Adis Ahmetovic in Stuttgart this weekend and told them he expects the new German government to show understanding for the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Dual standards of the international community towards the situation in Bosnia were assessed as “fatal” during the meeting and the collocutors agreed the talks on the future of the country must be urgently taken back to the institutions, said the statement issued by Komsic's office.

They also talked about the modalities of sanctions for the individuals who intensively work on the destruction of constitutional order and dissolution of the state.

The officials touched upon the priorities that the European Commission outlined in its Opinion on Bosnia's EU membership application, stressing that this is an important and historic document for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that the international community should insist on its implementation “without compromise and regardless of pressures from certain circles in Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

According to the statement, the officials also emphasised that the EU is expected to communicate the same standards with Bosnia as those that are in effect in their own countries, such as the protection of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
