Key priorities for the progress of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EU integration process were discussed at the meeting of Commissioner Štefan Füle i with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zlatko Lagumdžija on 17 April in Brussels. "I have welcomed a number of recent positive developments including the adoption of the state aid and census laws which are crucial steps for progress on Bosnia and Herzegovina's European path. However there are still outstanding issues which require further efforts. The entry into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU is within reach. But Bosnia and Herzegovina must make a credible effort to bring its Constitution into compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights in line with the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights in the Sejdić-Finci case. I regret that the Joint Parliamentary Committee tasked with the implementation of the Sejdić-Finci ruling still has not reached an agreement on the necessary constitutional amendments", Commissioner Füle said after the meeting.
