At a regular press conference in Brussels, Stano stressed that EU and US representatives jointly visited BiH last week to stress the importance of finding a solution to the current crisis in the country.
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik is threatening to withdraw from state-level institutions, including the national army built with international aid over the past quarter century, and to rebuild a Serbian force.
