The president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zeljko Komšić, told the General Assembly that his country will actively work on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and building trust and solidarity.

Addressing the General Debate of the 78th Session of the General Assembly today (20 Sep), President Komšić said, “Our two neighbors, through the ethnic communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to which they strive to claim every right, even twenty-seven years after the aggression they had carried out over Bosnia and Herzegovina, are in this manner, making an attack on the sovereignty of our country, which makes it almost completely impossible to have any democratic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

He added, “This practice also violates the minimum of interstate trust, because unfortunately, our neighbors are not investing sincere energy with the goal of building interstate cooperation, but are rather investing energy in weakening our state.”

President Komšić also said, “This is a visible problem, which extends to the entire region of the Western Balkans, where there are different ideas, plans and intentions to change the internationally recognized borders, to reorganize the region into something that has no point of contact with democracy.”

He concluded, “I am aware of the existence of those other parts of the international community, which, for their geopolitical reasons, will offer resistance in order to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the entire region of the Western Balkans, in a continuous state of destabilization and tension.”

President Komšić reiterated, “Such people do not want democracy, but ethnocracy, disorder and violence.”

The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.

The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. Currently made up of 193 Member States, the UN and its work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.

The UN has evolved over the years to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.

But one thing has stayed the same: it remains the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity.
