  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 9 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 9 hours ago

Bosnia and its path toward EU

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Bosnia and its path toward EU.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“We have realised that it is not enough to just wait for the Western Balkans to move closer to us. It is not enough to say that the door is open. We must also take responsibility, and support their path towards our union in any possible way... More progress has been achieved in just over a year than in over a decade. First, Bosnia and Herzegovina is now fully aligned with our foreign and security policy, which is crucial in these times of geopolitical turmoil. The country is showing that it can deliver on the membership criteria, and on its citizens' aspiration to be part of our family. The message coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina is clear. So our message must be clear too. The future of Bosnia and Herzegovina lies in our union.”

“Bosnia also needs a strong reaffirmation of its European future - one that puts it clearly on a path towards EU membership. Since the country applied for EU membership in 2016, there has been no momentum-generating EU decision. Now is the time for the EU to grant Bosnia a candidate status. Failure to act early and decisively could invite pernicious actors to escalate their destabilising politics. If Bosnia is pushed over the edge, it will not be only its people that will suffer the consequences, but the whole of Europe.”

“I'm counting on the close cooperation with the EU and the US. And as far as my duties are concerned, I'll see the BiH Presidency and state institutions as my primary partners, which is in line with the Dayton Peace Agreement and the constitution. With the help of the international community, BiH will return to the international agenda. We will all work together to meet the 14 priorities for BiH's accession to the EU. Work will also be done on the 5 + 2 program, more specifically, I will work on it, and especially on the protection of the territorial integrity of BiH.”

“Further reforms are needed, building upon modest progress to date. We support an inclusive dialogue involving reforms that will allow BiH to advance on its European path and to obtain candidate status. This is only possible by affirming Bosnia and Herzegovina's pluralistic nature while ensuring a functional democracy where all peoples and citizens are equal.”

“We cannot talk about the European path without talking about the current political situation in BiH. Many believe that BiH has a systemic error in terms of its existence. There are different opinions – according to one of them, the signing of the Dayton Accords itself began the integration process. The second opinion goes towards unitary country creation, while the third goes towards the need of full autonomy preservation, and the fourth that BiH should disband peacefully. Because of all that, BiH is a much more complex country today, and many even consider it a failure or a country of frozen conflict, which is not able to find a basic internal consensus.”

“Good to meet Bosnia and Herzegovina Foreign minister Bisera Turković. Positive steps in reform agenda, but BiH needs to further advance from Dayton to Brussels. Cooperation on Migration and EU support to the region in tackling consequences of COVID19 will continue.”
