Bosnia-Herzegovina on Negotiating Track

At the 21st of October; the European Commission gave Bosnia-Herzegovina the green light for the commencement of accession talks with the EU, following the adoption of a reform concerning the police in Bosnia. On Tuesday, the country’s central Parliament ratified the reform, aiming at unifying the country’s police forces, which are divided based on ethnicity. Brussels asked for the implementation of this measure, in order to finalise Bosnia’s union agreement with the EU. The agreement constitutes the first step towards acceding in the European Union for the countries of the western Balkans.
