It is hard to escape that conclusion. And therefore, if they have political prisoners, one of the things we will do is reimpose those sanctions.

Our core interests are better protected by working together than by seeking to respond to threats alone.

So we are disappointed at the pace of government formation. Without forming a government at the state level, Bosnia really cannot move forward on the path to the European Union.

We should all be concerned about the very disturbing recent events in Belarus and specifically the government's crackdown on the opposition, civil society, and independent media in the aftermath of the disputed Presidential election.
