Christian Schmidt is the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. He quits his job on Monday. Schmidt works there for almost 5 years. He stays until a new person comes.
News reports say: The USA forced Schmidt to quit. The USA want to build a new gas pipe. This pipe costs 1.5 billion Euro. It carries gas from Croatia to Bosnia. This helps the country. It needs less gas from Russia.
Schmidt often argues with Milorad Dodik. Dodik leads the Serbs in Bosnia. He does not like Schmidt. The USA punished Dodik before. Now they stop the punishments. Experts say: The USA want the gas project fast. They need the help from Dodik.
Schmidt follows the laws very strictly. This was bad for the gas pipe plan. On Tuesday, Schmidt talks at the UN in New York. He shows his last report about Bosnia.
