A new contract on border crossings between BiH and Croatia, by all judging, will not soon be signed because part of BH. Members of the Joint Commission, which should harmonize the text of the contract, retired, and new members have not yet been appointed.
This means that no new border crossing between the two countries can be opened, nor do I have a rapid road, and Croatia will remain closed because the Croatian border crossing will not be opened, although the works on the traffic, which is performed by the company “Integral Engineering “, practically completed.
Although we have been writing about this project for years, fearing that Croatia could be the main obstruction factor, it turned out to be the most problems existed on BiH. Foreign, because it is difficult to believe that one such an important job, as defining the border crossings between the two most important neighbors, paused because no one remembered to change the members of the commission before retirement.
As the interlocutor in the Ministry of Security told us, when the presposed candidates, everything must go to confirmation in the Council of Ministers of BiH, and only then the negotiations could begin. However, in the Ministry, they hope that the procedure could go fast, because they point out that everyone is aware of how important this is a problem.
“If the institutions are submitted by proposals in the short term, it is possible that the procedure is completed relatively quickly,” our interlocutor told us.
Apart from Gradiška border crossing, which is important for the Banja Luka region, there are several other transitions to be overcategorized, and each part of BiH has its local priorities. In January, he was sent to the initiative of the Law on the Law on the BiH Border Control on the BiH Bill, a proposal to conclude that a new contract with Croatia was adopted within six months of border crossings. Dedić demanded amendments relating to Samac, Svilaj and Izačić, but he also left the possibility that others can be added to the conclusion. Ilija Cvitanović, delegate in the House of the Peoples of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH, has launched an initiative to overcategorize the border crossing for Kamensko, which is important for Croats in West Herzegovina.
All of this will stand until the new commission is harmonized, which is not until the negotiations with Croatia should begin. The Commission will have to find a way to harmonize different interests between the two countries, but also within the very BiH, which is currently an institutional crisis.
Runs, last week, we received a certificate from the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Croatia submitted the proposal of the text of the new border crossing contract in mid-July. Independent newspapers.
“We expect the beginning of the negotiations of the devices of two countries that should lead to the new contracting partitions by overcuttering the common state border, including the establishment of some new border crossings, including the Old Gradiška, ie Gornje Varoši on New Traffic direction. Bearing in mind that it is a mutual interest, especially the economy of both countries and residents on both sides of the border, we expect dedicated negotiations and completion of the procedure of its assembly in a relatively short time, “they replied.
