<p>The importance of the General Framework Agreement for Peace, which brought an end
to the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in the 1990s, cannot be overstated.
However, it was not intended to be set in stone and was worded to enable local actors
to make changes in the future. The United Kingdom remains committed to supporting
BiH's security, democracy and prosperity, underpinned as necessary by constitutional
reform. The international community will offer support, but it is essential that the
authorities in BiH themselves make reforms based on broad consensus and for the greater
good of all citizens. This path forward requires compromise and cooperation from all
sides. All BiH citizens must have the right to participate equally in their country's
future. The Foreign Secretary called on BiH's leaders to focus on a peaceful future
and democratic rights for all in his statement to mark the anniversary of the Dayton
Agreement on 21 November.</p>
