BANJA LUKA, May 8 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Igor Crnadak confirmed that announcement of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina had arrived yesterday and that it made no mention of any election campaign in Turkey.

The reason for the visit, he specified, was his participation in the general assembly of a non-governmental organization in Sarajevo.

“There is no mention of the election campaign, nor the election rally of Erdoğan's party,” Mr. Crnadak said in a statement to journalists in Banja Luka.

He added that the announcement of the visit was forwarded to the BiH Presidency.

At today's meeting with the ambassadors of the member states of the European Union (EU) in BiH, as well as the ambassadors of EU member states that are non-resident to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the commitment of the EU countries to BiH and the Western Balkans was confirmed as a continuous priority and that the European path should be accelerated.

“BiH will try to find its internal capacity to concentrate on the European path of BiH, despite the election period,” Mr. Crnadak said after a meeting that was held on the occasion of Europe Day.

The head of the BiH diplomacy reiterated that, when it comes to the European path, most of the work was on the domestic government representatives.

He also pointed out that about 70 percent of the reform agenda was based on matters that should be done by the entities in the next period when the opinion of the European Commission is expected, and, he hopes, after that the decision on the candidate status as well.

Mr. Crnadak added that members of the European Integration Commission of RS and FBiH parliaments would be the holders of diplomatic passports as an incentive for the efforts that the entities should make.
