BiH Back On The European Road

“Olli Rehn’s decision puts Bosnia and Herzegovina back on the road to European integration after months of political uncertainty”, said the High Representative and EU Special Representative following the European Enlargement Commissioner’s decision to initial Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Stabilisation and Association Agreement.

“With this decision the European Union has recognized the new political dynamic in Bosnia and Herzegovina”, said Lajčák today. “It shows that BiH politicians have understood that the road to EU integration represents the best possible development strategy for the country”.

“From tomorrow BiH will have a formal agreement with the EU, how fast the country now moves then depends on how quickly the country can meet the institutional and legislative requirements set out in the Mostar Declaration and Action Plan on Police Reform agreements”, concluded Lajčák.
