The Secretary General of the European Movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Haris Plakalo has estimated that the coordination mechanism is very important for a further path of B&H to the European Union and without the functional mechanism there will be no functional negotiations with the EU.
The coordination mechanism is necessary for the further negotiations with the EU but also can be complicated if every individual authority in the mechanism has a possibility to decide on every reform subject requested in the negotiations and even more to block the negotiation process.
This primarily refers to the announcement of the coordination mechanism which doesn’t offer a functionality in the negotiations with the institutions of the EU, but gives a possibility to other authorities in B&H to decide on the country’s path to the EU.
Considering the latest announcements of every reform process of European integration the lower levels of government are to decide the most- Plakalo said in a press release.
According to him, B&H institutions should have a dominant and leading role in the negotiations with the EU, and it should be possible for every level of government to give its opinion and make a suggestion on certain issues that would be included in a coordination mechanism, but without giving them a possibility to decide or block a very process of B&H’s integration to the EU.
