Dr Bećirović thanked Secretary General Rutte for NATO's consistent and concrete support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He stressed that NATO membership remains one of the key foreign policy goals of Bosnia and Herzegovina, defined through decisions of state institutions, and that the Alliance is the best guarantor of peace and stability, both for Bosnia and Herzegovina and for the entire region. Pro-Russian politicians from the RS entity must know that decisions on NATO are made in the state bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and not in the non-competent entity institutions, and that laws and strategic documents on NATO have been unanimously adopted by the state institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the conversation, Dr Bećirović informed Secretary General Rutte about the escalation of attacks on the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the authorities of the RS entity. He particularly warned about the dangerous threats of armed force against state agencies. He stressed that such irresponsible activities are aimed at destabilizing Bosnia and Herzegovina and disrupting peace in the entire region.

Dr Bećirović emphasized the importance of intensifying cooperation between Bosnia and Herzegovina and NATO, especially in the reform segments, using the Membership Action Plan as a key mechanism for cooperation with the Alliance. He also pointed out the importance of the highest possible level of implementation of the NATO initiative for building the defence capacities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the adoption and implementation of the Individually Tailored Partnership Program, all with the aim of quality preparation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for NATO membership.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reiterated NATO's strong commitment to preserving the security of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the stability of the entire Western Balkans. He particularly emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina must remain a unified and multi-ethnic state.
