In the summer of 2015, an agreement on association and stabilization entered into force between the European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina - in fact, this was the first step towards the country's accession to the European Union. The application for accession Bosnia and Herzegovina plans to submit on February 15, however, the issue of future membership in the EU is almost solved - Bert Kender - the Dutch foreign minister positively responded about the country's accession to the union. Recall that this year in the EU preside the Netherlands and their support means a lot.
But this does not mean that Bosnia and Herzegovina will become a member of the European Union already in February - for this, it is necessary to observe a number of conditions and formalities, sometimes changing legislation and infrastructure in order to comply with strict standards.
One of the most important conditions is the observance of the principles of freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law and, of course, the European Council should unanimously vote for accession after consultation with the European Commission and endorsement by the European Parliament. At the moment, there are 28 countries in the European Union.
The exact period of Bosnia and Herzegovina's accession to the EU is unknown, but according to the experts of the Slobodna Bosna edition, this event will be already run by 2018 - each country is considered individually, and there are no time frames and standards between the consideration of the application and the approval of the Council.
