She arrived in Bosnia at the invitation of the German Konrad Adenauer Foundation to give a talk on the European People's Party's cooperation with Balkan countries.
Speaking to the press, Pack said she was deeply disappointed by the current blockades in Bosnia stemming from the inability to find a solution to the implementation of a European Court of Human Rights judgement in the Sejdic-Finci case.
She said this was more proof that nothing worked as it should in Bosnia and that the judgement was just synonymous with the conclusion that nothing was moving forward in the country.
Pack said the whole problem could be solved easily and swiftly if there was political will, adding that this raised the question of whether Bosnia would ever become an EU member if it had to spend so much time on any problem as it did on this judgement.
If politicians are not doing the job for which they were elected, a way should be found to punish them, said Pack, who earlier too pushed for punishing Bosnian politicians by banning them from travelling to the EU.
She added, however, that the EU did not have actual mechanisms to do that other then withholding IPA funds, which she said would mostly affect the common people. She said Bosnian citizens should punish their politicians and force them do their job.
We don't have the instruments to punish them because we didn't think such a thing would be necessary. It's difficult for someone in the EU to understand that someone must be punished to enter the EU, said Pack.
She insisted that Bosnian politicians should be directly punished by being prevented from traveling to meetings in the EU, which she said would force them to stay home and do their job.
