SARAJEVO, September 21 (FENA) - Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Dragan Čović met today with Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Matthew Field and talked about the political situation in BiH.  

Čović noted that the integrity and democracy of the electoral process must be ensured. 

He expressed the opinion that it is especially important to focus on the programming issues and solutions compatible with the BiH accession process to the European Union, which implies the continuation and intensification of all the reforms initiated immediately after elections conclude. 

In that sense, it is necessary that the institutions at all levels of government duly fulfill the reform obligations, with special emphasis on those that are linked to the EU path of BiH. 

Čović emphasized that, in terms of the principles of constitutionality, democracy and rule of law are important to ensure the protection of the principle of the legitimate representation of constituent peoples at all levels of government in practical political life, regardless of the fact that amendments to the Election Law have not been adopted. 

When it comes to the BiH path to NATO membership, Čović assessed that it is necessary to further intensify all activities in order to activate the Membership Action Plan (MAP) immediately after the October elections, the BiH Presidency said.

 Ambassador Field reiterated his conviction that the referendum decision on British exit from the European Union will not affect relations between the two countries and stressed that support from London to BiH to accelerate its path towards the EU and NATO will be even more significant in the future.
