Sybiha expressed gratitude to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as to his counterpart, Minister of Foreign Affairs Elmedin Konaković, for making this important decision.
He has said that this was an important step demonstrating Bosnia and Herzegovina’s commitment to protecting children’s rights, upholding international law, and supporting Ukraine’s efforts aimed at returning home every deported or forcibly displaced Ukrainian child.
He has said that the expansion of the coalition strengthened the collective capacity of the international community to take decisive action. He has said that Ukraine, together with its partners, would continue active work aimed at holding accountable all individuals involved in the illegal deportation, forced adoption, and militarization of Ukrainian children in the temporarily occupied territories and within Russia.
