GRAČANICA, February 8 (FENA) – The Head of EU Delegation to BiH and EU Special Representative Ambassador Lars-Gunnar Wigemark said today that there is no progress on the European path without the active engagement of local government.

The Office of the EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (EUSR) has launched the project 'Local Government Initiative' during which he will visit 15 local communities in BiH and hold public debates on the role of the local community and the challenges and opportunities offered by the EU accession process.

The first debate from the planned 15 was held today in Gračanica, and EU experts with numerous entrepreneurs, representatives of public institutions, companies and non-governmental organizations discussed the roles of local communities in the process of European integration, the project on environmental and economic development, local self-government and public-private partnership.

“Two years ago, BiH submitted an application for membership in the European Union and now the European Commission is in the process of preparing its opinion on this application. It is very likely that you will get candidate status in the coming year,” emphasized Mr. Wigemark.

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Sweden to BiH Anders Hagelberg pointed out that his country is strongly present in many projects in BiH, including in Gračanica.

"As someone who is here for the first time, I cannot fail to see how much activity and entrepreneurship is present,” the Ambassador said.
