The Washington PostInternational envoy for Bosnia who clashed with Serb leader to step down
German diplomat Christian Schmidt is stepping down as the top international envoy in Bosnia tasked with overseeing peace implementation in the volatile Balkan country.
The United States has reportedly given Christian Schmidt an ultimatum to leave immediately.
According to the newspaper report, UN Special Envoy Schmidt is supposed to cover his office for personal reasons.
The High Representative of the international community in Bosnia-Herzegovina, CSU politician Christian Schmidt, has declared his resignation. According to a report, this could also be due to the business interests of the Trump clan.
After his time in the Federal Government, Christian Schmidt became High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina about five years ago. He now ends the task of monitoring compliance with the peace agreement there. The Trump environment could also have played a role in this.
Christian Schmidt is said to be working until a successor is appointed, and the reasons for his departure are said to include pressure from the US administration.
