Brkić: EU and NATO membership to protect BiH

FENA Dejan Jazvić

SARAJEVO, August 13 (FENA) - Internal political disagreements should not be imposed as an incomprehensible impediment to building a more stable and prosperous Bosnia and Herzegovina, as that is not only an obligation towards strengthening the overall stability of Southeast Europe but also the entire European continent, Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister and Chairman of the Committee for NATO Integration, Josip Brkić (HDZ BiH) told FENA on Sunday.

This path is a catalyst for positive and necessary reforms within BiH. Apart from building strong integrity of the Armed Forces, the path toward NATO membership is an opportunity to participate globally in decision-making, to contribute to country’s international stability, and to strengthen relations with European and world powers which share the same values.  

“European and Euro-Atlantic integration is the future of BiH and the priority of my foreign policy activities. NATO and the EU have always been and remain a synonym for security, development and stability of all of its members and partners. As a European country, BiH must not give up on membership opportunities in organizations that will protect its citizens and create a framework for better life,” said Brkić.  

Deputy Minister noted that despite setbacks to BiH integration process, NATO and the EU continue to provide support for accelerating the country’s path toward membership and for removing obstacles on that path.  

“The EU Delegation in Bosnia, which just recognized the risks of BiH lagging behind on the European path, has significantly contributed and facilitated the process in which BiH political leaders create a framework for forming the government as well as further development of democracy and stability, so that we can take the next step toward the EU, which is also underlined in the European Commission Opinion on BiH,” said Brkić.
