Debate
Pino Arlacchi (S&D ), in writing . − I voted for this resolution because it clearly highlights the need for consistent commitment by the political leaders of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to accelerate the country’s progress towards EU membership. From this point of view, constitutional reform remains the key to the transformation of BiH into a fully functional democracy. With this resolution we stress too that corruption continues to seriously hamper socio-economic and political development in the country. For this reason we ask all competent authorities to ensure that an independent and effective judicial system is established and to develop a strategy of integration with the EU.
