The situation here is difficult because police reform is still being halted, Pack told reporters in Sarajevo after talking to a delegation of the Bosnian Parliament.
Pack and her deputy Hannes Swoboda talked to the Chairman of the Bosnian Council of Ministers, Nikola Spiric, and the international community's High Representative, Miroslav Lajcak, about the situation in Bosnia and a possible solution to the police reform problem.
Pack said that it would be a slap in the face to all Bosnian politicians should Serbia and Montenegro conclude their Stabilisation and Association Agreements with the EU before Bosnia.
Pack and Swoboda said Bosnia and its politicians had one more opportunity to resolve the problem if they wanted to conclude the SAA talks with the EU by the end of this year.
To achieve this, talks on the police reform must be concluded by the end of September, Pack said, thus expressing the European Parliament's support for the deadline set by the new High Representative, Lajcak.
The European Commission will release a new progress report on Bosnia in November, Swoboda said, adding that the report would most definitely be negative unless an agreement about the police reform was reached by then.
Negotiations on the police reform in Bosnia started two years ago but were halted because of the opposite positions of Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Milorad Dodik and a member of Bosnia's collective presidency, Haris Silajdzic
