After the current Convocation of the Council of Ministers of BiH was formed, I would seem to light all engines for the faster EU approaching, while today we have everything – just not progress.
At the session of the representative of the House of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH, in January 2023. year, the new Council of Ministers was voted, with Borjan Krišto, and the months that followed great optimism. Today, two and a half years later, we have a completely different political climate, which covered our European path by fog.
“When the Council of Ministers was just formed, we had that rhetoric that they do not already agree on other things, the more or less political parties in the same political positions and that BiH is to be developed by Danijal Hadžović, journalist from Sarajevo.
At one point, it was added, really seemed that the Council of Ministers of BiH would, after several years of downtime and blockades, could finally open this process and start adopting European laws, and implement reforms. However …
“Then a well-known matrix in BiH has happened between political actors in connection with some other issues, which has now culed the central election commission, and began to move on to the state. And the state taps in place”, said Hadžović for “independent newspaper “.
And the journalist from Banja Luka Dejan Šajinović recalls that at the beginning of the mandate ruled the optimism that this convocation would be different from the previous ones and will implement all reforms on the European path.
“We saw more European officials who came to Sarajevo and boasted that they promised. In the end, nothing has happened to be in no more effectional than in it, and even who is part of the majority,” said Sajinovic.
According to him, BiH had a great chance because international circumstances have done in a way that there was a sincere desire in Brussels to help the European integration of the Western Balkans and BiH.
“Unfortunately, we did not use that chance, and it is difficult for this opportunity to open like this,” Shayinovic said.
Denis Hadžović, President of the Center for Security Studies, reminds that BiH in December 2022. received candidate status.
“It was a recognition of old government and a new wind in the back, until the Court had been made for some reasons, and the political partners. Much to the European path. As much as they can see, no one is expecting no. Priority. Unfortunately, this is our reality, a step forward, two back, “Denis Hadžović assessed for” independent newspapers “.
In addition to the political climate in BiH, it has changed, should be emphasized, and the climate among the population. The interest of citizens for the entry of BiH in the EU is never less.
