Robert Golob, the Prime Minister of Slovenia announced on Twitter that he will visit our country in January 2023. He will visit Sarajevo.
”We will visit Sarajevo in January and we will offer all the technical and development assistance we can offer to facilitate the conversations, changes, and reforms they need to undertake,”he stated.
Prime Minister Golob and President of Slovenia Borut Pahor held a joint press conference where they talked about the candidate status for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).
In a joint statement, Golob told all the citizens of BiH: ”Welcome to the European path”. He emphasized that one of the fundamental values of the European Union (EU) is solidarity, ”which is not measured by how much you can do for yourself, but by how much you can do for others”.
Earlier, Golob addressed the European Parliament, stressing that the enlargement of the European Union is an instrument that is very well known in Slovenia, which is why they know what hope for a better future it gives to the citizens.
“Therefore, please do not pull the brakes on this process towards the countries of the Western Balkans. Since the beginning of Russian aggression, we have witnessed various pressures that can affect unity within the EU, that is why this instrument can significantly contribute to the stability of the region,” Golob stated.
Slovenian Prime Minister emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina was the biggest victim of aggression in the past, so he believes that the EU owes it to Bosnia and Herzegovina to show that they have not forgotten it.
He said that membership in the EU changes the country and its perspective as well as people’s perception, which is why people decide to change politicians as well. This is the only way, since waiting for political structures to change on their own is an illusion and will not lead to results.
