Gordan Grlić Radman calls for political dialogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Gordan Grlić Radman Bosnia and Herzegovina electoral reform Croatian political rights Dayton Agreement

Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman has called for the restoration of political dialogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina, addressing the tensions surrounding the rights of Croats in the country. He dismissed the strong reactions from Bosniak politicians as ‘hysteria’ and emphasized that Croatia will continue to work with European Union and United States partners to advocate for changes to the Election Law and constitutional amendments. The goal of these proposed changes is to ensure that Croats can elect their own political representatives without being outvoted by the larger Bosniak population.

Bosniak officials, including Elmedin Konaković, Denis Bećirović, and Slaven Kovačević, have rejected the proposal to establish a Croatian electoral unit, arguing that such moves are unacceptable and could threaten the stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Grlić Radman maintained that his appeal for mutual respect and equality is rooted in European values and the spirit of the Dayton Agreement, urging political leaders to act with maturity to ensure institutional stability.
