Mladen Ivanic, the chairman of the BiH Presidency, said in an interview that the High Representative should have left BiH years ago. Ivanic told Tanjug, “As long as foreigners are here, many are interested in conflicts, so they could then convince foreigners that they are right, and this is being done mostly by the Bosniak (Muslim) side, which is convinced that international institutions will side with them in any conflict, which has unfortunately been a regular occurrence.”
