Biscevic was commenting on the positive opinion Croatia was recently
given on its EU membership application in an interview with Bosnia's
Catholic Weekly.
He said Croatia's EU membership would provide an anchor for Bosnia in
its own Euro-Atlantic integration.
Biscevic stressed the need for Bosnia's three constituent peoples, the
international community and neighbouring countries to apply an
integral approach that will improve the existing constitutional
solutions. Retaining the country's political division as defined by
the Dayton peace accords would be most detrimental to Croats in
Bosnia, he was quoted as saying.
He also said that Bosnia should define its political platform and
elect leaders who would cooperate with the international community in
order to set up a system that would provide the country with lasting
stability.
