“EU at Your Door” is country- wide EUSR information initiative that aims to raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges of EU accession, as well as to stress the shared values of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU. Through this initiative, which was launched last weekend in Ugljevik, 15 municipalities across Bosnia and Herzegovina are joining together with the Office of the EU Special Representative in BiH to help citizens learn more about the country’s EU perspective.

On Friday 21 March and Saturday 22 March the “EU at Your Door” project will visit Bileca, where a one-and-a-half day programme of EU themed activities will be organised. Bileca high-school students, young people and citizens taking part in the programme will have an opportunity to learn more about EU values and policies and to speak directly to EU officials about the process of EU integration and the impact this is likely to have on daily life in local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Dutch Ambassador, Jurriaan Kraak, will be present the first day of the “EU at Your Door” activities in Bileca. Ambassador Kraak will meet first-grade students and their professors during the debate at the Golub Kures High School on Friday.

After Bileca “EU at Your Door” will visit Kladanj on 28- 29 March. For further information and a detailed outline of “EU at Your Door” programmes, please visit the Facebook page “EU pred tvojim vratima”. For media queries please contact the EUSR Press Office.

Media are cordially invited to cover the “EU at Your Door” programme in Bileca at the Jefto Dedijer Cultural Centre on 22 March from 14:00.
