This year, the worst progress report is probably published, which publishes the European Commission each year as a key document that identifies the degree of implemented reforms on the road to the EU.
BiH remains no main negotiator, which is the basic formal step without the EU accession negotiations, there are no laws of BiH, and the fact that BiH has not agreed to the reform list.
The only greater success this year is the signing of the Security Agreement with the EU in June this year, which includes the problem of migrants, which is currently a pressure that this issue is, whose resolution lasts for almost three years, permanently resolved.
The past year was one more successful, and in last year’s European Commission’s progress, the word “progress” was mentioned 124 times, and as many as 67 times it is “lack of progress”, and more in the context of “absence of progress”. Progress in a positive sense is mentioned only three times. “Limited progress” was mentioned 16 times, “some progress” 13 times, while the phrase “needs further progress” mentioned twice. Another 22 times the word “progress” was mentioned in the context that is not related to specific reforms, so, in a percentage, it is possible that practically as a positive step forward for 2024. year, while 80 percent remained backwards.
Given that this year even less is done, it is certain that this percentage of positive implementation of reforms will be even less.
As our European country’s diplomat recently told us, it is difficult to expect that, even if the Tempo has occurred, the first intergovernmental conference between the EU and BiH could be organized, which would be the first formal step towards starting negotiations.
He explained to us that Europe was preoccupied with a whole array, from the war in Ukraine, and to inflation and problems with migration, and that there is simply no time or resource as BiH is in the micronivou as it was earlier.
The fact that Germany is “delegated by Croatia as a key mediator, which shows that Brussels, under pressure and urgent area for political action in BiH, is in terms of motivation.
As we have written several times, Louji Sorek, the EU Ambassador in Sarajevo, has repeatedly emphasized that the EU remains dedicated to BiH, but that the Earth will prove that it wants the European path through the implementation of concrete reforms, writing Independent newspapers.
