"Madam President, Bosnia and Herzegovina is now the sole Western Balkans country without EU candidate status and this is indicative of the lack of reform progress and why there has been a United Kingdom-led renewed approach towards this fragile country. All this is marred by the partial failure of the Dayton Agreement, more than a decade on, the lack of national political vision by its component ethnic peoples and republics, and Russia, regrettably, also seems now to be very intent on supporting Republika Srpska’s secessionist tendencies.
Like its Western Balkan neighbours, there is urgent need for legal, judicial and administrative reform, as well as specific efforts to implement Sedjic Finci to afford equal rights to all Bosnia’s citizens, to crack down on organised crime, jihadi terrorism – I send my condolences to the family of the policeman murdered in Zvornik a few days ago – and against corruption and human trafficking.
The issue of press freedom and minority rights is also important, particularly for the Roma population, as well as the need to fully respect the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) judgments. Unemployment is unacceptably high and the economy in a poor state. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s instability remains a serious challenge to the region and also to the European Union."@en1
