In a statement issued on their behalf, the Security Council members urged the entities, the three constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, other relevant parties, and all political actors in the country to adhere to the provisions of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They called for sincere, open, and constructive dialogue to maintain the country's unity and political stability.

They stressed the need to avoid confrontational methods, maintain peace, and enhance stability to resolve conflicts in the spirit of consensus, urging all parties to refrain from divisive and provocative statements and actions.

The Security Council members expressed their support for the EUFOR Althea operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which operates under its mandate. They reiterated that the Security Council "remains firmly committed to the sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in full accordance with the Dayton Peace Agreement."

It is worth mentioning that Security Council statements are issued on behalf of the members, not the Council itself, and are adopted unanimously.
