The territorial integrity and sovereignty of B&H as one state with two entities and the Brčko District are guaranteed by the Dayton Peace Agreement. Neither Dayton nor the B&H Constitution gives the right to secede to any entity.

This was answered to FENA's request from Public Relations Office of the US Embassy to comment on the announcements of B&H Presidency member Milorad Dodik that he would ask for the rejection of all decisions imposed by the High Representative, return to "original Dayton", and if not thus, to declare independence in the next six months.

- Responsible leadership requires participation in government and the adoption of key economic and transparency reforms to improve citizens' lives, not retrograde calls that offer only the loss of any chance in the future - the US Embassy's Public Relations Office said.
