March 13, 2009, Washington, DC: The Bosniak American Advisory Council for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BAACBH) is supporting Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson’s recent call for a more active US role in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Rep. Johnson (D-TX), a member of the Congressional Caucus on Bosnia, sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressing concern about the deteriorating situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Rep. Johnson noted the failure to fully implement the Dayton Peace Accords and the lack of progress in constitutional reform as major stumbling blocks on the path to European Union and NATO integration.
“The current crisis in this country can be resolved with a vigorous diplomatic re-engagement by the United States working jointly with our European partners,” Rep. Johnson stated in the letter.
BAACBH, a strategic partner of The Advocacy Project (AP), is supporting a proposed House Resolution promoting increased US involvement in Bosnia. BAACBH strongly encourages the US government to boost its efforts in Bosnia and calls on its supporters to advocate for such efforts.
