The High Representative used this opportunity to brief the foreign ministers on political and economic trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a particular accent on the upcoming General Elections.
The High Representative stressed the need for politicians to conduct an election campaign free from negative and divisive rhetoric, instead focusing on issues that truly matter to citizens, including the economy, rule of law and the fight against corruption.
