Did Lavrov show disrespect?
Sergei Lavrov became involved in an unusual conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), where he was on a visit on December 15. The leaders of Croatia, Zeljko Komšić, and Bosnia (Muslim Slavs), Shefik Jaferovic, refused to meet with the Russian Foreign Minister, having assumed that the Russian official showed disrespect to their country.
There were many complaints. First off, Lavrov, in their opinion, should have started his tour of the Balkan region in the capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo, rather than in the Republika Srpska, where he held a meeting with its head and chairman of the Presidium of BiH, Milorad Dodik.
