25/11/2015 (Agence Europe) - Tusk says Bosnia has lived in the shadow of the Dayton agreements for too long. During his visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday 24 November, European Council President Donald Tusk said that “for far too long Bosnia and Herzegovina has been living in Dayton's shadows”. Signed on 21 November 1995, these agreements confirm Bosnia's division into two entities - one Serb and the other Muslim-Croat. At the end of his meeting with the chairman of Bosnia-Herzegovina's presidency, Dragan Covic, Tusk hailed the “new determination” of the Bosnian authorities with regard to their European future (see EUROPE 11337). “It is crucial to keep pushing a positive agenda. A number of challenges persist. But the momentum must continue for the country to move ahead, and to finally leave the past behind”, Tusk said, saying he firmly believed there was no alternative to a European future for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
