"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, firstly let me thank you for a very pertinent and responsible debate, as well as for your obvious support for Doris Pack’s excellent report. I would also like to thank you for your support for the Commission’s policy on the western Balkans, which is based on long-term commitment to supporting the European transformation process in the countries in the region. I am pleased that this policy obtained the clear support of the European Council in December. The European Council decided to keep the European Union’s doors open to the countries of Southeast Europe and they can come in as long as each one of them first fulfils all the obligations of membership.
On my Sarajevo visit tomorrow and on Friday I will make special mention of the matters which you have raised in this debate and which the European Parliament itself sets great store by. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s unity is vital for the country to succeed on its path to the EU, as was emphasised in your discussion. We need cooperation across the political spectrum. That is one watertight conclusion which we can draw in general about the success of small countries in the European Union and it must surely also hold true for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The most important thing now is that Bosnia and Herzegovina’s political leaders understand the responsibility they have and implement these vital reforms, so that the country can make progress along the road to the European Union and provide its citizens with better living conditions."@en1
