BRUSSELS, December 13 (FENA) - I am happy to say that we have adopted the recommendation that Bosnia and Herzegovina be granted the status of a candidate country for membership in the European Union, said today at the press conference after the sessions of the EU General Affairs Council, the Czech Minister for European Affairs Mikulas Bek.
- This is a historic moment for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now we have to work on the rule of law in that country and that is the cornerstone - he stressed.
Minister Bek added that the most important thing now is to improve the independence of the judiciary and encourage the culture of the rule of law.
- This must be worked on especially because of the new geopolitical context - he said.
