Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan officially welcomed Denis Becirovic, chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, during his visit to Trkiye with an official ceremony. The welcoming ceremony took place at the Presidential Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul, followed by a bilateral meeting.

According to Anadolu Agency, the parties discussed regional issues and relations between Trkiye and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as stated by the Presidency’s Communications Directorate on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal. Erdogan affirmed during the meeting that Trkiye will continue to provide unconditional support for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and constitutional order.

Erdogan emphasized that the region has no tolerance for more adventurism and stated that provocative rhetoric targeting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s unity will benefit no one. He stressed the importance of unity among those who support Bosnia and Herzegovina’s integrity and declared that Trkiye views any fait accompli violating the vital interests of the Bosniaks as unacceptable.

The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina has three members: a Bosniak, a Croat, and a Serb. Becirovic, the Bosniak member, took the presidency’s chair this month.
