И не стóит в этом контексте перекладывать ответственность с больной головы на здоровую, обвиняя Беларусь в развязывании гибридной войны против Европейского Союза, как об этом врали с этой высокой трибуны лидеры Польши, Литвы, Латвии инекоторых других стран.Даже простому обывателю понятно:10-миллионная Беларусьобъективно не может вести не только «гибридную войну», но и никакую войнус 500-миллионным Евросоюзом, даже если бы у нее и были мускулы Арнольда Шварценэггера.

further lagging behind in the development of this European region, butalso opens the space for restoration of destructive theories that claim that, due to the fact that it is lagging behind, this region cannot live as a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional community and that its statescannot befunctional. They want to impute this constructed thesis to Bosnia and Herzegovina in particular, but also to smaller countries in the region, tomake an alibi for restoration of greater-state nationalisticprojects that in the 1990s led to thewar in Western Balkans with almost 150000 deaths. Our determination to fight these retrograde and dangerous ideas has not waveredand therefore today, from this place, Montenegro is warningof the renewed danger that Western Balkanswill be destabilized,and the horizons of its European prospects reduced

In this context, one of ever-shifting balances in a multipolar world, the European Union must take on its corresponding leadership role, and it must do so with strength and decisiveness. This has very specific implications, beginning with the need to develop greater strategicautonomy, and tostrengthen oursecurity and defense policy

On December 31st 2020, in the context of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from theEuropean Union, Spain and the United Kingdom came to a bilateral understandingregarding Gibraltar. This understanding must serve to lay the foundations for the future relationship of this territory with the European Union, and we trust that an agreementmay soon be reached between the European Union and the United Kingdom regarding Gibraltar. This agreement must fully respect United Nations’ doctrine regarding saidterritory, with which Spain is fully aligned. It must also respect the legal position of my country as regards sovereignty andjurisdictionconcerning Gibraltar

inmoving Bosnia and Herzegovina forwardand securing its EU aspirations.The inequality ofits constituent peopleshas been left unresolvedfor too long. It unnecessarilycreated internal political instabilitiesand tensions. In order to move forward, Bosnia and Herzegovinarequiresan appropriate institutional ‘power sharing’ framework, basedon principles of federalism, decentralisation and legitimate representation.The concept of constituent peoples is often mispresented as an obstacle tothe equal rights of all its citizens. Many political and legal practicescan beensuredwithout having to give up democratic rights and freedoms.Bosnia and Herzegovina’s electoral reforms are long overdue and urgently needed.Electoral reforms should facilitate constituent peoples (Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats) are able torespectively choose their representatives at all the appropriate political levels.Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Croats have not been able to exercise this right. It’s no wonder theyfeel marginalized and disenfranchised. This has to change.

In a way, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a cornerstone of peace and security in the wider region.Its territorial integrity, functioning institutions, and inter-ethnic cohabitation have always been important concerns for Croatia. Yet, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovinais aschallenging and as complex as it gets in the Western Balkans.(And it is always challenging in the Western Balkans)We would like to seea stable, peaceful and prosperous Bosnia and Herzegovina, progressing firmly on the path toEU membership; acountry where the equality among itsthree constituent peoples and the rights of all itscitizens are fully guaranteed.Unfortunately,narratives in Bosnia and Herzegovinaoften swing betweentwo tenaciouslyunachievable and unjust ends–centralisedgovernance andseparatism. In their own way, both are destructiveand contrary to the spirit of its constitutional framework, stemming from the Dayton-Paris Agreement.The Dayton-Paris Agreement is not without its faults, which undoubtedly will need tobe addressed. However, weshould notunderestimate Bosnia and Herzegovina’s well-established sensitivities and inherited intricacies. Norshould itbe subject to experimentationthat dangerouslydeviate from the Dayton-Paris Agreement’sfounding principles. Thisis essential

Let me say a few words about our southeast neighbourhood.Croatiahas vested interestsin thewell-being of theWestern Balkans.The region’sstability, functionalityand prosperity means a great deal to us. This is why Croatia is one of the strongestadvocates of the region’s EU enlargement prospects. The fulfilment of well-established criteria, the implementation of reforms and delivering tangible results remainkey requirements for EU membership. But even more so, the path to membership serves tosecurethe higherstandardsits peoplesaspire to.Democratic transformation and the rule of law will remaincentralmarkers. But we have also continuedto call on all regionalleaders to lower tensions, overcome their differences,and seek ways to build lasting relationships.
