Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic received the US State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, Hoyt Yee. The two discussed government formation, and the need for economic reforms.
They jointly considered that the newly elected authorities at all levels must prioritize implementing socioeconomic reforms, which will ensure economic stability, accelerated economic development, intensified employment, increased competitiveness of the BiH economy, and strong inflow of foreign investment. Aside from this, it is essential to dedicate attention to a more effective fight against corruption and crime, and fulfill key conditions to accelerate the process of Euro-Atlantic integrations, such as establishing a rational and efficient coordination mechanism in the process of European integrations and booking 63 locations of military property, in order to activate as soon as possible the Membership Action Plan in NATO, the BiH Presidency said in a statement.
