A significant and long-awaited day for Bosnia and Herzegovina! As announced by the Council of the EU, the EU General Affairs Council recommended granting the candidate status to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The European Council will make the formal decision on Thursday, December 15, at the summit of the leaders EU’s 27 in Brussels.
It’s been six years since the country submitted its formal application for full membership in the EU back in 2016. The process is now nearing its conclusion, and yet another Western Balkans country is about to reach its primary goal – attaining candidate status as an essential step for joining the EU.
The action follows the European Commission’s recommendation for this path made earlier in October, along with a list of requirements for reform to strengthen democracy in the country.
