When asked how he evaluates the work of High Representative Schmidt, he said: "I very positively appreciate the work of the High Representative. Far from being satisfied with all his decisions, he has on multiple occasions preserved the constitutional system of BiH. When bad politicians block, he is there to unblock. Since bad politicians are blocking more than ever, he has had more work than some other High Representatives," he said. He added that he finds it shocking that a campaign is being waged against him from Sarajevo, "from some parties that, for a crumb of power, are ready to undermine the OHR." "He will leave one day, that is not in question. Dodik has placed the departure of the High Representative and the closure of the OHR as the top priority in the logistical agreement. I am sure that the closure of the OHR will not happen. Schmidt, even when he leaves, will be succeeded by those who have an understanding of the situation in BiH, that is the information we have. That is the most important thing," he concluded.
