President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hosted a series of high-level meetings during the Fifth Antalya Diplomacy Forum, underscoring Türkiye's active role in regional and global diplomacy.

Türkiye supports all constructive steps for the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, saying that the country is in a key position for stability in the Balkans.

A significant focus of the forum, and particularly Erdoğan's discussions with Bosnian Presidency members, was the critical issue of stability in the Balkans. President Erdoğan unequivocally reiterated Türkiye's unwavering support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's territorial integrity and constitutional framework. In a region historically sensitive to ethnic and political tensions, his strong words against separatist and provocative rhetoric serve as a clear message: Türkiye stands firmly for harmony and rejects actions that could jeopardize regional peace.

He also reaffirmed Türkiye's unconditional support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's territorial integrity and constitutional order.

From Türkiye's perspective, fostering a Bosnia and Herzegovina where all three constituent peoples—Bosniak, Serb, and Croatian—can coexist peacefully is paramount. The emphasis on increasing bilateral trade and accelerating cooperation in transportation and energy reflects a broader strategy to deepen ties and promote shared prosperity. The Antalya Diplomacy Forum itself, themed "Mapping Tomorrow, Managing Uncertainties," provides a vital platform for such dialogue, positioning Türkiye as a key facilitator of stability and constructive engagement in an increasingly uncertain world. This commitment to regional security and economic partnership is central to our foreign policy.

Noting a recent rise in separatist and provocative rhetoric targeting the Bosniak people, Erdoğan warned that irresponsible actions that could jeopardize stability in the Balkans would benefit no one.
