EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESS - BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BETWEEN THE INSTITUTIONAL BLOCKADE AND THE EUROPEAN ROAD

Summary/Abstract: In the context of European integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is important to note that the application of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the membership in the European Union was accepted. The European Commission was invited to prepare an opinion on the membership application, which meant that the Council of the European Union confirmed the European perspective of our country and opened the way for new steps in the process of European integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The European Commission's questionnaire is a list of extensive issues on the political, legal, institutional and economic system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. With emphasis on the process of harmonization of legislation and the acceptance of EU standards, in order to assess the readiness of Bosnia and Herzegovina to obtain a candidate status and open membership negotiations with the European Union. Preparing the answers to the Questionnaire is the most important and complicated task for the institutions of our country in the process of European integration. Decision on the system of coordination of the European integration process in Bosnia and Herzegovina, respectively The European integration coordination mechanism was a key precondition for more intensive work to be done on the development and adoption of a planning document for the accession of our country to the European Union, which would unify all existing obligations and simplify the planning and monitoring of the process of Bosnia and Herzegovina's accession to the European Union. Already in the first phase of answering the Questionnaire, Bosnia and Herzegovina faced issues, which is the lack of cooperation between the institutions and the failure to respond to them This is an indication that the established coordination mechanism is not efficient and effective, taking into account the large number of institutions participating in the decision - making process on the principle of consensus. It is clear that the coordination mechanism is a matter of political agreement. It is known that the institutions have different approaches and ways of dealing with issues in the same areas, and in that sense, the question arises as to how to make unique answers that will send a clear picture of the organization and functioning of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
