NATO Reaffirms Support for Bosnia Amid Concerns of Russian Interference

Secessionist rhetoric from Bosnian Serb leadership, backed by Russia, threatens stability and hampers reform, warns NATO Secretary General.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reaffirms support for Bosnia's territorial integrity amid concerns of 'malign foreign interference', particularly from Russia.
Stoltenberg expresses concern over secessionist rhetoric in Bosnia, particularly from Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik, who advocates for the breakup of the country and union with Serbia.
Stoltenberg emphasizes that all political leaders must work to preserve unity, build national institutions, and achieve reconciliation.
NATO played a significant role in ending the Bosnian war in the 1990s and has remained committed to the country's security.
The Bosnian Serb leadership, supported by Russia, has been blocking Bosnia's application for NATO membership.
