U.S. ambassador criticizes Bosnian politicians

SARAJEVO -- U.S. Ambassador in Sarajevo says that if Bosnian politicians cannot find solutions themselves, there is a question whether the country is ready for NATO and EU.
U.S. Ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina Patrick Moon has criticized the Bosnia-Herzegovina politicians, pointing out that they have to realize that in democratic societies they were responsible for finding solutions.
“They cannot just stand there and say – I won’t change my position,” Moon stressed.

The U.S. ambassador repeated that Bosnia-Herzegovina needed reforms that would make the authorities more functional and efficient.

According to him, the constitutional reform is also necessary and it would resolve the vacuum which caused the high representative to impose his decisions.

However, Moon is against forming of the third entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

“Besides, I believe that the Constitution should do a better job of protecting the rights of the Croatian people without creating the so-called third entity because it would be a step in the wrong direction,” he told Sarajevo based daily Oslobođenje.
