SARAJEVO, June 20 (FENA) - The Directorate for European Integration of BiH (DEI) said today that the European Commission has forwarded additional questions for BiH as part of the process of preparing its opinion on the application of BiH for EU membership.
The Directorate stated that the additional questions constitute 20 percent of the sum of the total number of questions from the Questionnaire submitted in December 2016. Countries in the region also had a similar proportion of additional questions to the questions in the Questionnaire.
Additional questions in English are available at: http://www.dei.gov.ba/dei/direkcija/sektor_strategija/Upitnik/upitnik/default.aspx?id=20070&langTag=bs-BA.
The majority of additional questions, 106 of them, refer to the political criteria, while in the economy segment, the European Commission sent 33 additional questions. This is followed by Chapter 19 - Social Policy and Employment (43), Chapter 14 – Transportation Policy (39), and Chapter 26 - Education and Culture (36).
The first thing that the Directorate for European Integration will have to do is to translate the additional questions from the English language to B/C/S. After that, the questions will be integrated in the information system to support the preparation of the responses to the Questionnaire, and then the competent institutions will draft their answers for the overall responses of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Commission,” it is said in the statement.
The purpose of the additional questions is to clarify the previously submitted responses, identify changes in relation to the responses to the Questionnaire and include the data for 2017 that could not have been collected earlier,” said the Directorate for European Integration.
