APPG on Bosnia and Herzegovina

  • Tweet

Bosnia is on the verge of collapse - and the UK can help to save it.

As Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Bosnia, I am working with the UK Government, other MPs, the British Embassy in Bosnia and the Bosnian Embassy in the UK to find a way to prevent genocide happening.

Many in the UK don't know about Bosnia - and have forgotten the War. The BBC piece attached gives a flavour of the conflict.

Bosnia saw a terrible war from 1992-1995 - and the British Armed Forces played an honourable part in that war. 

The Peace Agreement, signed in Dayton in 1995, created a new, multi-national state. 

Now, Bosnia is on the verge of collapse once again. I have a plan to stop that from happening.

Plan for how the UK can help prevent conflict 

  • Invite High Representative Christian Schmidt to the UK
  • Put Bosnia on the agenda at NATO ministerial meeting in Riga
  • Increase deployment to NATO HQ in Sarajevo
  • Urge NATO to consider a joint exercise in the Balkans
  • Convene meeting of NATO QUINT
  • Visit to Bosnia by a senior member of the UK Government
  • Secure a debate and motion by Parliament
  • Work with NATO and EU Parliaments to hold debates
  • Impose Magnitsky sanctions on financial criminality around agitators
  • Endorse the High Representative's Genocide Denial Bill
