Nezavisne novine: Political directors of the countries members of the Visegrad group are worried because of the slowdown in implementation of reforms in BiH, necessary for connecting to the European Integrations.
This has been said yesterday by Sven Alkalaj, chief of the BiH diplomacy, after the meeting with political directors of the ministries of foreign affairs of Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary, which are the members of Visegrad group, and the representative of the Great Britain.
"These countries are traditional friends of BiH and we hope that their experiences in the approach to the European Integrations will help BiH on its European way", Alkalaj said. He added that at the meeting they talked about fulfilling the conditions from the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA), liberalization of visa regime, continuation of the Mission of the EUFOR, reform of the Constitution, and the actual political situation in BiH.
Vitol Soblokov, political director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Poland, has said in the name of the Visegrad group, that he expects continuation of reform in BiH, by concluding that the progress has been done by signing the SAA.
"However, that agreement we can not take for granted. BiH should focus on implementation of the Interim Agreement and fulfilling the goals which have been set by PIC, such as constitutional reform. There is much more to work on in the process of getting closer to the EU", he has said.
He added that the Visegrad group has a vision of BiH as a stable and safe country.
"Also, the Visegrad group gives a full support to Miroslav Lajčak, the High Representative in BiH, for what he does", has been added by Soblokov.
Political directors of the Visegrad group have met yesterday with the members of the Presidency of BiH, and the Minister of Security, Tarik Sadović.
