The High Representative welcomed the Council of Ministers decision to take forward the Parliamentary Conclusions and Establish a State Commission to Investigate and  Establish  the truth on suffering of Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, Jews and Others in Sarajevo 1992-1995. He also called on BiH parliamentarians not to further prevent the work of the Parliament.

“By establishing a Commission politicians on all sides will be serving the interests of bereaved friends and family members.” said the High Representative, expressing his hope that the Council of Ministers adopts a second Decision nominating members to the Commission so that its work can start . 

He also noted that there is a lot of legislative work ahead of the Parliament in order to move BiH foward towards European integration and improve the lives of BiH citizens, and urged parliamentarians to not block the legislative process.
