US to 'reconsider' presence in Bosnia after failure to elect high rep: official

(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, JUN 5 - The United States said Thursday it would "reconsider" its presence in Bosnia after failed talks with European officials on picking a new high representative to oversee the Balkan nation's peace accords. "European indecisiveness, and the PIC's abdication of its own duty...is forcing the United States to reconsider our role in the current international presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina," an unnamed State Department spokesperson said in a statement. The Peace Implementation Council (PIC) is the international body tasked with overseeing the Dayton agreement that ended Bosnia's inter-ethnic war. (ANSA-AFP).
