REHN: BOSNIA CAN MEET SAA CONDITIONS QUICKLY

BRUSSELS, Belgium (March 6,2008) - The European Commission (EC) thinks Bosnia can quickly meet conditions for the signing of Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU and that the dialogue about visa facilitation for the Bosnian citizens would start soon.

That is stated in the conclusion about Bosnia in the communique about the strengthening of EU perspective of the southeastern European countries, which was presented by the EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn in Brussels yesterday.

The EC emphasizes that Bosnia's political leaders have to take additional effort, and reminds that the Peace Implementation Council decided to postpone the closing of the Office of the International Community's High Representative in Bosnia (OHR).

The adoption of police law is expected soon by Bosnia, as well as the establishment of functional and efficient institutions capable of responding to the challenges of European integration.
