Javier Solana, EU High Representative for the
Common Foreign and Security Policy discussed recent developments on the police
reform inBosnia and Herzegovina with the European Union Special
Representative for Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Paddy Ashdown.
He recalled that the basic principles on which a comprehensive political
agreement with the EU should be based, namely: securing exclusive state-level
competencies; removing political interference from policing and ensuring that
police regions are determined on the basis of technical and professional
criteria.
He reiterated that these principles are non-negotiable and are not going to
change. All parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina should to focus on trying to
define an agreement by mid-September in order to pave the way for the launching
of negotiations on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement by the end
of this year.
