>Bosnia-Herzegovina could already be granted official EU candidate status this year if it implements important electoral and constitutional reforms, Chancellor Nehammer said after consultations at the EU summit yesterday in Brussels. Nehammer spoke of a “paradigm shift.” He said Bosnia had succeeded in “coming back into focus,” although Ukraine, with its war, was the dominant issue.

>Nehammer called to mind the earlier requirement that Bosnia work through 14 reform points. So far, only little has happened there, the chancellor said. If Bosnia-Herzegovina now fulfilled the electoral law and constitutional reforms, the country would have a clear opportunity for EU candidate status, he said. Once all 14 points are fulfilled, EU accession negotiations would also be possible.

>Nehammer reported intense discussions at the summit on EU enlargement over three and a half hours. At the previous Western Balkans summit it had become clear that frustration was high and progress was still slow. Therefore, it was important to give Bosnia a perspective as well.

>The EU Commission, he said, had been asked by the summit to speed up the process for granting a country candidate status; “This will already show results this year.”
No, moldova first!
So its not like they make the balkans wait for fun.
They just wait for them to at least start fullfilling the requirements to join it seems.
How can one of the most disfunctional countries in Europe become a candidate. The country is torn apart by its two parts and one part is actively string up shit at this moment.
(North) Macedonia is the only one who is ready. But then again we move to another sub 1 Million country with veto rights. And after being blocked by Greece for the most bullshit reason ever in the past, they are now blocked for an even more bullshit reason by Bulgaria.
