With regard to a declaration adopted by the SNSD party over the weekend, the EU Delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina/EU Special Representative Office commented:
“The written commitment of February 23, 2015, is clearly based on ‘the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina’. This was agreed by the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, signed by all political party leaders and endorsed in the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The parliamentary deputies and the leadership of the SNSD party also agreed to this commitment.
“Through the written commitment everyone who signed and approved it affirmed that membership of the European Union is a strategic goal of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The European Union reiterates that its bilateral relations are with the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The offer of EU membership is made to Bosnia and Herzegovina and not separately to its Entities or the District of Brcko.
“The written commitment highlights how the main problems facing Bosnia and Herzegovina today are socio-economic in nature, including creating jobs and encouraging economic growth and investment. As agreed by all political parties, building a well-functioning market economy should now be the main focus of our attention.”
