 In September 2019, Lajčák received an honorary Ph.D. by Bosnian Croat leader Dragan Covic at the University of Mostar.He also repeated Bosnian Croat lines concerning the lack of legitimacy as a Croat of Bosnian Presidency member Zeljko Komsic.Following the adoption by the Croatian Parliament of a “Resolution on the Position of Croats in BiH and the European Way of BiH”, Lajčák did not join three ex-OHR (Paddy Ashdown, Christian Schwarz-Schilling, Carl Bildt) who co-signed a letter denouncing the interference of Croatia in the domestic affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina; rather, he commented that Bosnian Croats should be made to feel equal.
