THE DAY IN POLITICS / (eu) eu/bosnia-herzegovina

18/07/2006 (Agence Europe) - On 17 July the European Union called on Bosnia-Herzegovina to “speed up reforms, particularly in the constitutional arena and police field, declared the Finnish foreign affairs minister Erkki Tuomioja to the press at the end of an EU Troika and Bosnia-Herzegovina meeting. Bosnian prime minister, Mladen Ivanic, recognised that police reform and improved cooperation with the Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) were two of the major problems on which his country had to work. Equal effort was required, as pointed out by Commissioner for enlargement Olli Rehn, in the police sector, which was a “pre-condition” for negotiations aiming to conclude a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU, which he explained that from a technical point of view had “made good progress”.
