"Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Pack for the sound report we are debating today. It clearly shows the progress that Bosnia and Herzegovina have made towards meeting democratic standards.
For this progress to continue, the citizens and elite of the three nationalities constituting that country must be given a clear prospect of EU membership. Not today, not tomorrow or the day after, but in a realistically defined future. Of course, before that Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to meet all the basic standards regarding human rights, combating corruption, judicial reform and administrative reform. Above all, however, it needs to conduct a genuine inter-religious dialogue and a dialogue between the nationalities making up the country, which has been the theatre of the greatest armed conflict in Europe since the Second World War.
Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be held hostage to our internal debate on institutional reform. Let us allow Mrs Pack’s report to serve as the green light for that country where membership of the European Community is concerned."@en1
