EU Commission recommends Bosnia and Herzegovina be granted EU candidacy status
ANKARA, BELGRADE (AA) – The European Commission has recommended that candidate status be granted to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Addressing the European Parliament on Wednesday, Oliver Varhelyi, the European commissioner for neighborhood and enlargement, unveiled the bloc’s 2022 Enlargement Package.
Varhelyi said the Balkan country has taken a number of steps to be granted candidate status.
“Commission also underlines that the European Council called on the leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina to urgently finalize the pending constitutional and electoral reforms,” Varhelyi noted.
“The candidate status is an offer from Europe to Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are doing this for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina but it also comes with high expectations,” he added.
North Macedonia’s Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani said that the EU’s decision is an “important step” that will further consolidate Western Balkan’s European future.
