Croatian FM says EU should conceive specific approach to Bosnia

Autor: half
BRUSSELS, Dec 17 (Hina) - Bosnia and Herzegovina was virtually not mentioned in a ministerial discussion on enlargement, which is very bad and the European Union should come up with a specific approach to that country, Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic said in Brussels on Tuesday.

"The fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina was barely mentioned in the discussion affected me quite a bit. I think that's bad and when I said so, several colleagues said it takes two to tango. In other words, they believe the problem is in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We know there are many difficulties, but the EU should conceive a specific approach to Bosnia and Herzegovina and make an additional effort so that the country, which is very important, could make headway in European integration," said Pusic.

She attended a meeting of EU foreign ministers and EU enlargement was one of the topics.

Pusic said Croatia pushed for granting Albania membership candidate status, but that several states were extremely opposed to adopting a decision on that now. She added that a compromise solution was being sought so that Tirana could be granted candidate status in the first half of 2014.

Croatia also pushed for launching accession negotiations with Macedonia but, "unfortunately, that wasn't supported and the start of the negotiations was delayed again. We believe that Macedonia is spinning in a vicious circle," said Pusic.
