Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a potential candidate country following the Decision of the Thessaloniki
European Council of June 2003. Since then, a number of agreements between the EU and Bosnia and
Herzegovina have entered into force - visa facilitation and readmission agreements (2008), Interim
Agreement on Trade and Trade-related issues (2008). The EU continues to be present in Bosnia and
Herzegovina within the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the European
Security and Defence Policy.
Legislative alignment with the EU environment and climate legislation remains at an early stage;
requiring further strengthening of administrative capacity, and improvements in horizontal and vertical
inter-institutional cooperation.
The main beneficiary institution of ECRAN in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the Ministry of Foreign Trade and
Economic Relations.
