The Chairman of the Joint Commission for European Integration of the BiH Parliament Halid Genjac said in a statement for Fena that the participants would speak of several important topics.
First of all, they will speak of the new concept of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA-2), which will be effective from 2014-2020.

“The resolution speaks of EU enlargement in countries of this region.
Member o the European Parliament for South East Europe Jelko Kacin will present the resolution. It contains several important newspapers and statements, among which, with the conclusion that social issues have been rather neglected in the process of EU integration, it announces the need for more attention on issues of sustainable economic development’’, said Genjac.
“The third topic will be “Transformational strength in the process of European Integration-Positive Experiences and Their Applicability in the Countries of the Region”, and the Vice-President of Croatia Neven Mimica will participate.
