The High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Christian Schmidt said that the Bonn powers is a tool still at his disposal.

- I am the High Representative in B&H who oversees the implementation of the Dayton Agreement - Schmidt said in an interview with BN TV.

He told politicians to stick to the facts stated in the Dayton Peace Agreement.

- The High Representative is elected by the Peace Implementation Council in B&H, so I recommend that we do not discuss the procedures but the content - said Schmidt and added that he is not here to please politicians but to do something good for the entire country.

- I want us to do something together for all people in B&H and I recommend everyone to participate in it, and those who do the blockades, they in fact block themselves - said Schmidt.

Speaking about the blockade of the state government that came after the imposition of the Law on Denial of Genocide, Schmidt says that he knows the crises in B&H well and that he talks to the people and that in the political sense it is important that the interlocutors are the holders of power.

- I think we should work together and that is why I am here. I am observing the situation now and after that, I will start doing some things - said Schmidt.

When asked if there was a signal from the representatives of the entity of Republic of Srpska to talk to him, he answered in the affirmative, but he did not want to specify the details.
