"Madam President, the new EU approach towards Bosnia and Herzegovina is a fresh hope for the country. The S&D Group very much welcomes the long-awaited entry into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement set up for 1 June 2015. We urge the new leaders to refrain from divisive, nationalistic and secessionist rhetoric that polarises society. We urge them instead to commit fully to carrying out the necessary reforms in order to improve the lives of all citizens and move forward in the EU integration process. That addressing the socio-economic needs of the people of Bosnia must be the priority became manifest in the social protest of last year.
Economic prosperity is, however, only possible if it is based on a democratic and inclusive society. The fight against the corruption that exploits the most vulnerable people is another must as it affects all sectors, even health and education. There is pressure to change Bosnia coming from all sides, not only from the EU but more importantly from the citizens themselves. Transparency in the process of planning and implementing reforms is crucial and civil society must be included in the reform processes. The media, civil society and the judiciary should together provide robust scrutiny of the government of the day. The S&D Group remains fully commited to Bosnia and Herzegovina being part of the EU."@en1
