PM Plenkovic and Wigemark discuss Bosnia and Herzegovina's EU aspirations

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic on Monday received European Union Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina,  Ambassador Lars-Gunnar Wigemark, for talks on the state of affairs in that Croatian neighbour, according to a press release from the government.

The talks focused on Bosnia and Herzegovina's efforts to draw closer to the European Union.

Plenkovic was quoted as saying that Croatia strongly supports Bosnia and Herzegovina's sovereignty and territorial integrity and stability and democratic functioning that provides for equality of all three constituent peoples: the Bosniaks, the Croats and the Serbs, and all citizens of that country.

"Croatia is a reliable partner and advocate for Bosnia and Herzegovina," said the Croatian premier.

Plenovic offered Croatia's political, technical and expert assistance to Sarajevo in its efforts to strengthen its administrative capacities in the process of European integration.

He noted that the governments of the two countries would soon hold a joint meeting.

Wigemark pointed to Croatia's important role in Bosnia and Herzegovina's European journey and Zagreb's experience in that field.

The ambassador underscored the importance of amending election legislation and the implementation of economic and social reforms for the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The two officials also discussed cross-border cooperation and EU-financed projects in the transport sector.
