00:00NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte promised full support for Bosnia and Herzegovina as
00:07tensions rise over Bosnian-Serb separatist moves.
00:12The latest crisis began when Bosnian-Serb lawmakers passed laws blocking Bosnia's central
00:18judiciary and police from operating in Republika Svepska, the Serb-majority region that makes
00:26up about half of Bosnia.
00:29Speaking from Sarajevo, Rutte reacted.
00:33NATO remains firmly committed to the stability of this region and to the security of Bosnia
00:42and Herzegovina.
00:43I have three main messages to deliver today, but one is really the main message.
00:50First, our commitment to Bosnia and Herzegovina is steadfast.
00:57This move happened after Milorad Dodik, the pro-Russia leader of Republika Svepska, was
01:03sentenced a year in prison and banned from office for six years for defying Bosnia's
01:09top international peace envoy.
