Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has wared Western nations against trying to break down the architecture of the Dayton Accords as it is fraught with serious consequences.
"I would like to warn seriously some of our partners against trying to break down the Dayton architecture. We observe such attempts. Such attempts, whatever their motives might be, are fraught with the most serious consequences," he said after talks with Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik on Monday.
The Russian minister recalled that he had taken part in the talks on the Dayton Accords. "I know how fragile the balance than has been reached is and how important each brick of this fundamental achievement of the international community is. With even one component removed from this package, all the agreements will be at risk and the consequences will be unpredictable," Lavrov stressed.
