My visit to the Srebrenica memorial moved me so deeply.
I honoured the memory of the more than 8,300 Bosniak boys and men who were murdered in Srebrenica 30 years ago.
And I paid tribute to the mothers, wives and daughters carrying the weight of loss for three long decades.
It is our duty to preserve the truth and work actively for reconciliation.
The European Union will always remember the Srebrenica genocide.
The EU is committed to BiH's EU path as well as the security and stability of the country and the region.
Political leaders in BiH must work to bridge divisions, not deepen them.

Today I was in Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It’s a beautiful city with great people. The people I met there welcomed me warmly. I had a number of excellent meetings with civil society and opposition. Dodik’s secessionist actions are unacceptable. 1/3
In #Sarajewo mit klaren Botschaften im 🧳: 🇧🇦 Zukunft liegt in der 🇪🇺!
Angriffe auf die Verfassung sind inakzeptabel. Sie setzen Frieden und Stabilität aufs Spiel - für alle. Deswegen ergreifen wir Maßnahmen gegen die Verantwortlichen.

Reakcija velikog Ivice Osima na prvi gol BiH, kao nezavisne države na Svjetskim prvenstvima u fudbalu postignut u Brazilu 2014. godine je jako dirljiva i budi sjetu. Sinoć bi naš voljeni Švabo bio ponosan jer je BiH u prvoj utakmici kvalifikacija za Svjetsko prvenstvo 2026. godine pobijedila Rumuniju u Bukureštu.
Siguran sam da će naša domovina, jednako kao i vjekovima ranije, preživjeti i trenutne napade vanjskih i unutrašnjih dušmane, a da će se himna BiH oriti na stadionima u Americi, Kanadi i Meksiku, koji su domaćin Svjetskog prvenstva 2026. godine u fudbalu, na radost svih Bosanaca i Hercegovaca.

Danke an meinen Kollegen @DinoKonakovic für den sehr guten Austausch! Österreich zählt zu den entschlossensten Unterstützern des EU-Beitritts von #Bosnien und Herzegowina. Reformen, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Stabilität sind entscheidend für die Zukunft des Landes in der EU. Die Handlungen von Präsident Dodik der Republika Srpska bedrohen die Stabilität, die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung und die territoriale Integrität von 🇧🇦 und sollten entsprechend sanktioniert werden.
We condemn repeated threats against BiH public officials made by the RS leadership. Such threats are unacceptable and must cease.
The BiH Constitution is the supreme law of the country. Its provisions must be fully complied with, incl jurisprudence of BiH Constitutional Court.
Milorad Dodik is working to dismantle the Dayton Peace Accords and undermine 30 years of fragile peace in the Balkans.
Now, he's turning to Vladimir Putin to further destabilize the region — defying the judicial process and threatening Republika Srpska’s secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We cannot let them succeed. As head of the U.S. delegation to @natopa, it is incumbent upon the U.S. and our allies to advance peace and stability in BiH.
Important to be in Sarajevo today. #NATO remains firmly committed to the sovereignty & territorial integrity of 🇧🇦. Political leadership is key to further progress & stability. NATO's support is unwavering.
Today, @SecGenNATO will visit Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦
NATO and Bosnia and Herzegovina are actively cooperating on key areas like democratic development and building stronger institutions as part of a broad and mutually beneficial partnership.

Le azioni del Presidente della Republika Srpska Dodik rischiano di minare la stabilità della Bosnia Erzegovina e della regione.
Invitiamo le autorità bosniache 🇧🇦 al dialogo e ad evitare escalation che portino a situazioni di crisi.
Continuiamo a lavorare, anche grazie alla presenza del nostro contingente militare🇮🇹, per la stabilità della #Bosnia e dei Balcani.
The latest laws passed by the National Assembly of #RepublikaSrpska constitute a massive attack on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s constitutional order. We call on all actors to uphold Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the safety of its people. #BiH
The actions of Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik are undermining Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutions and threatening its security and stability. Our nation encourages political leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina to engage in constructive and responsible dialogue. We call on our partners in the region to join us in pushing back against this dangerous and destabilizing behavior.
The United States is resolute in advancing our interests in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For 30 years, our commitment to the Dayton Peace Agreement and a stable and secure Bosnia and Herzegovina has been unwavering.
We are deeply concerned by last night's signing of the anti-constitutional and anti-Dayton laws the RS National Assembly recently adopted.
Let us be clear — this is a deliberate provocation to BiH's constitutional order and poses a direct threat to BiH's stability and security and to U.S. strategic objectives.
To all political leaders, and in particular to those behind these decisions, our message is this: Refrain from engaging in further destabilizing actions and incendiary rhetoric. Engage in constructive and responsible political dialogue. Support BiH's democratic institutions and uphold the rule of law. And do your part to lower the political temperature. The citizens you serve deserve no less.
The United States strongly supports BiH's sovereignty and territorial integrity and its path towards full integration into the Euro-Atlantic community.

Sjedinjene Države odlučne su u promociji naših interesa u Bosni i Hercegovini. Naša posvećenost Daytonskom mirovnom sporazumu i stabilnoj i sigurnoj Bosni i Hercegovini koja traje već trideset godina nepokolebljiva je.
Duboko smo zabrinuti zbog sinoćnjeg potpisivanja antiustavnih i antidaytonskih zakona koje je nedavno usvojila Narodna skupština Republike Srpske.
Da budemo jasni – ovo je smišljena provokacija ustavnog poretka Bosne i Hercegovine i predstavlja direktnu prijetnju stabilnosti i sigurnosti BiH i strateškim ciljevima SAD.
Svim političkim liderima, naročito onima koji su iza ovih odluka, poručujemo ovo: suzdržite se od angažovanja na daljoj destabilizaciji i zapaljivoj retorici. Angažujte se u konstruktivnom i odgovornom političkom dijalogu. Podržite demokratske institucije BiH i provodite vladavinu zakona. I učinite što možete da smanjite političke tenzije. Građani kojima služite ne zaslužuju ništa manje.
Sjedinjene Države čvrsto podržavaju suverenitet i teritorijalni integritet BiH i njen put ka potpunoj integraciji u evro-atlantsku zajednicu zemalja.

On BiH’s Independence Day, we extend our best wishes to BiH and all of its citizens and reiterate our commitment to a strong and enduring friendship between our two countries. #USAinBiH
As the Department of State Spokesperson @statedeptspox said, we will firmly oppose any actions by local BiH leaders that would undermine BiH’s security and stability.
We meant what we said. We condemn the unconstitutional and anti-Dayton legislation the Republika Srpska National Assembly passed last night.
We expect local leaders to immediately stop engaging in activities that undermine the Dayton Peace Agreement and BiH’s constitutional and legal order.
