The EU Delegation/EUSR underlines the crucial importance of government formation at all levels as a matter of the utmost urgency. The EU calls upon all stakeholders to intensify their efforts and complete all pending procedures in this regard. New governments in place are essential to move forward with the much-needed reforms aimed at addressing people’s concerns, in particular the serious economic situation in BiH. Notably, new governments will play a key role, in accordance with their competences, in formulating and implementing the reform agenda related to the new EU initiative.
 
Therefore, the EU urges all relevant political parties to intensify their efforts so that the executive authorities of the Federation of BiH, namely President and Vice Presidents as well as the government, are appointed without any further delay. The EU also urges authorities to complete the procedure of the Council of Ministers appointment as soon as possible.
