London sends its man to the Balkans; "We must not allow violence"

He states that the region is facing the greatest threat to its stability and security in the last two decades, and that we must not allow a return to violence and divisions from the past, the British government announced today.
"The UK is deeply committed to European security. The Western Balkans are experiencing the biggest threat to their stability and security in over two decades. We have a responsibility to do all we can to preserve the gains achieved through peace and dialogue - we cannot allow any return to the violence and division of the past. Sir Stuart's extensive experience and expertise will reinforce international efforts to protect peace and promote Euro-Atlantic integration in this crucial region", Johnson said.
