Milorad Dodik

Bosnia and Herzegovina refused to accept a military plane with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. The reason given was Hungary's long-standing support for Milorad Dodik, whose actions undermine the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's Minister of Defense, Zukan Helez, denied permission for a Hungarian military aircraft carrying Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to land. The reason cited was Hungary's support for actions undermining Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty and the lack of explanation regarding the use of a military aircraft.
