During the meeting, Dr Bećirović said that full membership of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EU and NATO is the foreign policy goal of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the highest priority, which represents the best framework for the lasting security and stability of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. He emphasized that the enlargement of the EU is in the mutual interest of both Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Western Balkans, as well as the EU. He stressed that there should be zero tolerance towards those who undermine the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ambassador Soreca expressed his commitment to strengthening the partnership between the EU and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Highlighting that the door to the EU membership is open, he pointed out that it is necessary to use the decision of the European Council to open accession negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina as a strong incentive for reform processes in our country. Ambassador Soreca said that the membership of our country in the EU will contribute to making Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutions more functional.

In this context, the interlocutors agreed that the way forward must include harmonizing domestic legislation with the European standards and implementing key reforms with the aim of strengthening democratic institutions and the rule of law. It was noted that stronger EU engagement would also help to launch processes that would ensure a better life for all citizens and stop the exodus of young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Dr Denis Bećirović pointed out the progress that Bosnia and Herzegovina has made on its path to the EU, which has also been recognized by the EU institutions. At the end of the meeting, Dr Bećirović wished Ambassador Soreca a successful continuation of his mission, expressing optimism that the coming months would bring progress on the path to full membership of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the EU.
