The NATO Parliamentary Assembly is holding its spring session in Dayton, Ohio, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Agreement, which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Discussions are focusing on the Western Balkans, emphasizing long-term peace and the importance of the transatlantic alliance.
Croatian Prime Minister Plenković highlighted Croatia's role in ending the war and its ongoing support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's Euro-Atlantic aspirations. He advocated for reforms, dialogue, and equal rights for all constituent peoples within Bosnia and Herzegovina, stressing that the rights of Croats should not depend solely on demographics.
Plenković affirmed Croatia's commitment to ensuring equal rights for Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while also supporting other countries in Southeastern Europe as they pursue stability and integration into the transatlantic community. Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Serbia and Kosovo, remains among the few Western Balkan countries that are not members of NATO.
