  • Abu Obeida
    Abu Obeida “The enemy has achieved nothing except carrying out death and destruction in its 200 days of war on Gaza. Israel is still trying to recover and restore its image. The enemy is in a quagmire, stuck in the sands of Gaza. It will reap nothing but shame and defeat. Two hundreds days on and our resistance in Gaza is as solid as the mountains of Palestine. We will continue our strikes and resistance as long as the occupation's aggression continues on our land. The occupation forces are trying to convince the world that they have eliminated all resistance factions, and this is a big lie.” 20 hours ago
  • Rishi Sunak
    Rishi Sunak “We will put the UK's own defence industry on a war footing. One of the central lessons of the war in Ukraine is that we need deeper stockpiles of munitions and for industry to be able to replenish them more quickly.” 20 hours ago
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “The United States has unveiled a large-scale aid bill for Ukraine while also making groundless accusations against normal trade between China and Russia. This kind of approach is extremely hypocritical and utterly irresponsible, and China is firmly opposed to it.” 20 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “When it comes to Russia's defense industrial base the primary contributor in this moment to that is China. We see China sharing machine tools, semiconductors, other dual use items that have helped Russia rebuild the defense industrial base. China can't have it both ways. It can't afford that. You want to have positive, friendly relations with countries in Europe, and at the same time, you are fueling the biggest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.” 20 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “In proportion to the threats posed by the United States and its allies, we will continue to improve the composition and structure of the armed forces and increase the production of the most popular weapons and military equipment. We will increase the intensity of attacks on logistics centres and storage bases for Western weapons.” 20 hours ago

Election of a new High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Consideration

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Election of a new High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina - Consideration.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“The mandate of Christian Schmidt is illegitimate because the principle of consensus was not respected when proposing his candidacy, nor there was the approval of the UN Security Council. A number of documents - the General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH, UN Security Council resolutions, documents of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) and its Steering Board and, ultimately, established practice - provide for a procedure for electing a High Representative. It is precisely this procedure that our Western partners have always insisted on. And it is clear why. Each time, they had to obtain the approval of the UN Security Council so that the High Representative could use his entire arsenal of powers. As for the consensus, we remind that this procedure was followed even in regard to (former High Representative) Paddy Ashdown, whose candidacy Moscow initially did not agree with.”

“The Embassy of the People's Republic of China in BiH in its note presented a position that given that a draft resolution on appointing the high representative, sponsored by China and Russia in the UN Security Council, was not adopted, China considers the appointment of the high representative [Christian Schmidt] illegitimate.”

“Behind that is the need to protect Dodik's own position and the SNSD structures, which in RS [Republika Srpska] have created a kind of kleptocratic-clientelistic rule, which behind the screen of caring for the Serbian people and nationalist rhetoric ultimately takes care of itself. The position of Dodik and SNSD [Alliance of Independent Social Democrats] is well shaken in some parts of RS and they feel it. It is also a reason for great nervousness and intensified ethnonationalism rhetoric and artificially raising tensions and creating crises. For politicians like Milorad Dodik, ready to do anything to stay in power and protect their own privileges and the privileges of the clique, there is no life outside of politics.”

“The election of a new High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina [Christian Schmidt] must go through the United Nations Security Council, without which we will consider Christian Schmidt a tourist. If this appointment is not carried out with the relevant UN Security Council Resolution, the High Representative will have no legitimacy.”
