EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn on Wednesday presented the European Commission’s opinion on BiH’s EU membership application and said accession talks should be opened once BiH achieves sufficient compliance with the membership criteria.
“Bosnia and Herzegovina does not yet sufficiently fulfil the criteria related to the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities, set by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993. In this respect, the country needs to dedicate considerable efforts to sufficiently fulfil such criteria,” the Commission wrote in its opinion after receiving the answers their Questionaire.
