Kaja Kallas is on her first tour of the Balkans in her new role as EU chief diplomat.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas wants to express her concern for stability in the region on her trip to the Balkans this evening in Sarajevo. Milorad Dodik, President of the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska, is openly threatening secession. At the start of her trip to Montenegro, Kallas emphasized that attacks on the unity and constitutional order of Bosnia-Herzegovina could not be tolerated. Politicians must overcome divisions, not deepen them, said Kallas. This was important in order to move the country forward on the path to the EU. Bosnia-Herzegovina is one of the laggards in the enlargement process. This is also due to the destabilizing influence of the Kremlin, which has one of its governors in the region in Dodik.
