“Today is a very special day for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I wholeheartedly congratulate citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its political leadership on this very important achievement. Signing of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and of the Interim Agreement with the European Union is an important step on the country’s road to the European Union. It is both beneficial and a challenging road requiring lots of efforts by Bosnia and Herzegovina. The European Union will continue to assist Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to make further progress on its path to Europe”.
