Europe’s foreign affairs chief, Federica Mogherini, and European Commissioner for enlargement Johannes Hahn issued a joint statement today praising BiH leaders for adopting the coordination mechanism, which will manage communications between the EU and all levels of government within BiH.
The EU welcomes today’s adoption of the Coordination Mechanism, which aims at improving the country’s policy coordination and implementation, including as regards EU financial assistance, and to ensure a more efficient and effective interaction between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union. This is an important step which will be taken into account in our discussions with the Council when considering Bosnia and Herzegovina’s application for EU membership. Its effective implementation at all levels will be crucial.
