The clock is ticking.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has made significant progress towards EU accession, with Austria advocating for their inclusion in the European family. Despite past delays and frustrations, there is now a renewed momentum for European integration in the region.
The European Commission has praised Bosnia and Herzegovina for passing important laws and reforms, but emphasizes the need for further improvements, especially in areas like anti-corruption measures and public administration reform.
Corruption is identified as a major obstacle to the country’s development, leading to a lack of trust and opportunities for its citizens. It is crucial for Bosnia and Herzegovina to address these challenges and work towards a prosperous future within the European Union.
Austria reaffirms its support for Bosnia and Herzegovina and calls for collective efforts in overcoming obstacles to European integration. The time for action is now, as both the Balkans and the EU cannot afford further delays.
