SARAJEVO, December 24 (FENA) - High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union Josep Borrell and European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy Olivér Várhelyi welcomed the appointment of a new convocation of the BiH Council of Ministers more than a year after the parliamentary elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"This opens the way for renewed commitment of the political parties to allow for progress on the EU path of the country," they stressed adding that relations between the European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina are at a defining moment following the endorsement of the Commission Opinion and its 14 key priorities in the areas of the rule of law, fundamental rights and public administration reform.
In their joint statement they said that the coming 2020 will be an important year for Bosnia and Herzegovina with the holding of local elections, including in Mostar.
Borrell and Várhelyi stressed the urgency of the engagement of the State level government needed to define, adopt and implement a new package of socio and economic reforms for the benefit of the country and its citizens.
"The work ahead requires the full commitment of legislative and executive authorities at all levels. The European Union is ready to fully support and accompany Bosnia and Herzegovina, its institutions and all its citizens in moving forward on the European integration path," stated Borrell and Várhelyi.
The House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday have confirmed the appointment of a new convocation of the Council of Ministers, meaning that Bosnia and Herzegovina finally has a new government 14 months after the general elections in October 2018.
