"Mr President, next year, the European Union will have a border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and this year is the 20th anniversary of the outbreak of war there which was instigated by Belgrade. We must be aware of the fact that it is time that genuine reforms were implemented. The EU Special Representatives, Mr Inzko and Mr Sørensen, have both done an excellent job and both deserve our support. However, as Ms Pack rightly said, the initiative must come from the country itself. This is why we need to educate a new young generation of leaders from all three nationalities, strengthen the system of local authorities and make the education system more European, including the establishment of a European university.
State reform is urgently needed to transform this country into a symmetrical federation of three different peoples. All of this may be very difficult to achieve, but I do not believe that we can risk the collapse of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If this were to happen, the central Bosnian Croats, who are never referred to and who live in very isolated communities, and the Muslims would be the losers. However, even the supposed winners, Republika Srpska and Herzegovina, would also lose. It would be a disaster for everyone."@en1
