The Head of the European Union Delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luigi Soreca, said that the approval of the Reform Agenda for Bosnia and Herzegovina is the result of great work by officials and civil servants of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as their partners from the European Union.
Soreca stressed that the process involved months of difficult negotiations, dialogue, consensus-building and constructive decision-making by political actors in the public interest.
“This is a huge step for the country. But this is just the beginning. BiH must now implement the reforms that its authorities have committed to. Each implemented reform is followed by an investment, totaling up to 976.6 million euros. The first tranche of 68.4 million euros of pre-financing will be disbursed shortly after the BiH authorities ratify the Facility Agreement and the Loan Agreement,” Soreca wrote on the social network X.
According to him, progress is possible when there is political will.
“We also hope that the same spirit of consensus that led to the adoption of the Reform Agenda will guide progress in the adoption of the two laws on the judiciary, and the appointment of the Chief Negotiator and his team, in order to continue moving forward on the path towards the EU,” concluded the EU Special Representative for BiH.
