The Austrian diplomat said in his New Year's message that "the EU engagement in 2011 in Bosnia Herzegovina will grow."
"The international community stands ready to assist in every way possible, but the essential decisions to move forward must come from within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Politicians and all those who have functions in this country, any function, have to show to both citizens and the European Union that they are capable of making this country more functional and taking it forward," reads Inzko's message issued on the web site of the Office of the High representative on Thursday.
Inzko said the establishment of the new government following the October 3 general elections remained a priority.
"The first priority has to be formation of Government. (...) I would support all efforts to put in place a coalition that will deliver this in practice," he said.
Inzko said that challenges to the Dayton peace agreement must end.
