The United States stands with Bosnia-Herzegovina at this time of crisis just as it has during and after the Balkan country's war in the 1990s, and will act against those who threaten its stability, a U.S. top diplomat said on Thursday.
Bosnia has been going through its worst political crisis since its 1992-1995 war after the Bosnian Serbs blocked decision making in national institutions and launched a process to withdraw from the state armed forces, tax system and judiciary.
"The United States stood with the people of this country during the war. ... We have stood with the people of this country for the last 26 years, and we stand with you now," said Samantha Power, the visiting administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
