"If Europe's most complicated ethnic and political knots are to be found in the Balkans, then the most intricately entangled one is in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In no other part of Europe are there so many fresh graves, so many parks and stadiums which are now cemeteries. That is why this resolution, which I wholeheartedly support, is so necessary and relevant. A year ago I became convinced myself that the prospect of European Union membership is making this ill-fated country calmer and better. This is a path, which Bosnians, Serbs and Croats must follow even more resolutely, to return to peaceful co-existence under new conditions and to consolidate this institutionally. EU support along this path has been and will continue to be particularly significant. Twenty years ago the inhabitants of this country were able to travel freely to both the East and the West. Now the citizens of small Bosnia and Herzegovina are fenced in by visa barriers. These must be torn down by both Sarajevo and Brussels. In particular, I would urge the Commission to make sure that young people are able to study at universities in EU countries, to become acquainted with Europe, its experience in reconciling nations, which were once deadly enemies, and the multi-faceted nature of European culture."@en1
