Breakthrough For BiH On The Road To Europe

The High Representative and EU Special Representative, Miroslav Lajčák, welcomed today’s long-awaited adoption of police reform legislation.

By adopting the laws the BiH House of Peoples today completed the legislative process that the country’s authorities undertook in December last year and have opened the road for the Stabilisation and Association agreement to be signed with the European Union.

“Once embarked on this road no country has failed to become a member of the EU. This decision sends a strong signal to the EU and to investors that BiH is making progress and is open for business,” said the High Representative and EU Special Representative, Miroslav Lajčák.

The High Representative and EU Special Representative congratulates BiH Parliamentarians on having the courage and responsibility for taking this decisive step today.
