Russia Calls for Abolition of Bosnia's High Representative Post

Following the resignation of Christian Schmidt as the High Representative of the International Community for Bosnia‑Herzegovina, the Russian government publicly demanded that the office be abolished immediately. Russian officials called for the "immediate closure" of the High Representative position, arguing that it should no longer exist.

The demand comes amid ongoing debates over the Dayton peace framework and the role of external oversight in Bosnia‑Herzegovina's governance. No formal steps have been taken by the Bosnia‑Herzegovina authorities to act on Russia's request.
