In a speech Friday in Sarajevo marking Europe Day, EU Ambassador to BiH Lars-Gunnar Wigemark called for the formation of governments at all levels in BiH. Wigemark said, “Obviously, it is necessary to implement the election results from last October’s elections and establishing new governments at all levels since a functioning democracy is a fundamental criterion for any country wishing to join the EU. It is difficult to envisage the EU Council deciding unanimously to move forward with BiH without a duly elected Council of Minister being in office.”
Wigemark also said, “The new government in Republika Srpska has already taken steps to strengthen its capacity to handle EU affairs and the Federation needs to do the same.”
