> Russia has called for the abolition of the Office of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yury Pilipson, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s second European department, said Western countries were trying to prolong the office’s presence through behind-the-scenes maneuvers. He described efforts that bypass the UN Security Council as untenable. The remarks present Moscow’s opposition to extending the office’s mandate and presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
