On Tuesday or next week at the latest, the EU Commission should adopt its recommendation to start accession negotiations with Bosnia-Herzegovina. This would put the country on the same footing as Moldova and Ukraine, which are currently still waiting for the negotiating framework. In an interim step, the Commission would initially only report verbally on the progress made with reforms, which were defined by the heads of state and government at the December summit, and would only make the recommendation to start accession negotiations after the European elections in June.
