EU STILL EXPECTS BOSNIA TO SUBMIT DRAFT LAWS ON POLICE REFORM BY FEBRUARY 15

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (February 6,2008) – Chief EU negotiator with Bosnia Dirk Lange said that Brussels still expects Bosnia to submit draft laws proving the implementation of the Mostar Declaration on police reform by February 15.

As he said, if no such document arrives, postponing the Stabilisation and association Agreement (SAA) signing between Bosnia and the European Union will be an inevitable consequence.

Lange was not familiar at the time with the International community's High Representative in Bosnia Miroslav Lajcak’s statement that the SDA Party dropping from the police reform agreement basically means there is no chance for Bosnia to sign the SAA while Slovenia presides over the EU.
