Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies of reports that Republika Srpska will end diplomatic relations with the US and UK.

On 17 March and on the back of false claims, President of the Republika Srpska (RS) entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Dodik, announced a non-legally binding RS government decision to prevent all contact with the British and US Embassies. He has also pushed retrograde legislative moves in the RS. His authoritarian actions move BiH away from its Euro-Atlantic path. Together with our allies, we continue to support alternative voices and to strengthen BiH's democracy.
