Alternative report on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s progress on the European Union membership path (April 2023 – July 2024)

Throughout 2023 and the first half of 2024, Bosnia and Herzegovina faced a slew of political and economic challenges that diverted decision-makers’ attention away from the process of EU integration, i.e. the reforms that must be adopted so that Bosnia and Herzegovina can finally catch up with the rest of the region on this path.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will have to fulfill 14 key priorities outlined in the Opinion of the European Commission from May 2019, which relate to democracy/functionality, rule of law, fundamental rights, and public administration reform.

As a result, this Report serves as a guide through 14 priorities, identifying areas with major deviations from legal solutions that, if implemented, would accelerate the country’s path to membership in the European Union.
