"I would like to begin by welcoming the clear ambition shown by Austria as regards the western Balkans, an area which remains crucially important for our collective security and for foreign and defence policy within Europe itself. Likewise I welcome the progress made by Bosnia and Herzegovina towards a European perspective. As we followed the tragic events in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the years we longed to see more of Europe. Now we have more of Europe there in a political and military sense. Ten years after Dayton we now also want to see more of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The European Union has offered Bosnia and Herzegovina the credible prospect of full membership and real progress but this is increasingly dependent on political will and the quality of decision-making in Bosnia and Herzegovina itself. Tragic experience has shown that progress cannot be guaranteed if any of the constituent elements of Bosnia and Herzegovina are excluded or disempowered, but can only take place on the basis of respect for the dignity of all identities and all entities. Progress will be all the more rapid if European standards of respect for diversity and a readiness to find common denominators are enforced at the earliest possible opportunity. Without doubt one of these is the new constitutional arrangement as the Dayton Accord seems to have run its course. I expect future states holding the Presidency to continue to give their utmost attention to the countries of the western Balkans. ( )."@en1
