US AMBASSADOR IN BIH MICHAEL MURPHY: THERE POSITIVE INDICATIONS ABOUT FORMATION OF FBIH GOVERNMENT

SARAJEVO, MARCH 9 (ONASA) – American Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina Michael Murphy expressed hope that the parties that make up the majority will soon form the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He believes that the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina should be the engine that will lead Bosnia and Herzegovina towards Euro-Atlantic integration.
“We are carefully monitoring what is happening and for any kind of blockade we will hold responsible those political leaders who are more important for their personal political well-being, and not for the well-being of their voters,” said Murphy in an interview published in the new issue of Dnevni avaz.
According to the opinion of the American ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States of America is ready to use all mechanisms against blockades.
“It is a great pity that the blockade in the FBiH comes from people who have been complaining about the blockades for a long time,” he said.
The US ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina said that “we need to move from words to action” when it comes to reforms and the formation of government.
“We looked positively at the quick formation of the BiH Council of Ministers, and the indication of the formation of the FBiH Government is also positive for us. We have to see what the politicians will do in terms of what they have said in terms of the Euro-Atlantic path and reforms,” Murphy said, adding that they were very clear about what would happen if they continued on the same path they were on.
“We will call them to account. We have already taken concrete measures due to the anti-Dayton action and we will do so again if necessary,” he said.
