Russia Disagrees With Presence of Christian Schmidt at UNSC Meeting on BiH – Nebenzia

WASHINGTON, (Sputnik) – Russia objects to the presence of the so-called High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Christian Schmidt at a UN Security Council on the situation in the country, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said.

We will talk more about the unpleasant situation around Mr. Schmidt at a separate meeting in mid-May,” Nebezia said at the UNSC meeting, adding that the US and the UK, by inviting him, impose his expertise on members of the Security Council.
A draft UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution on events in the Bosnian city of Srebrenica is one-sided and can only provoke a new and very serious spiral of escalation, Nebenzia added.
“The document on Srebrenica is one-sided, politically charged and has nothing to do with the stated purpose of perpetuating the memory of the victims of the 1995 tragedy,” Nebezia warned during a meeting of the UN Security Council.
He stressed that the draft resolution cannot lead to interethnic reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and can only provoke a “chain reaction” all over the world, since many countries have not fully healed from their wounds and grudges against each other.
