The Briefing Note provides an analysis of the 2009 Annual Programme for Bosnia and Herzegovina under the IPA in the context of the 2009 ‘enlargement package’. It analyses
the coherence of the Annual Programme with the EU overall policy objectives as specified in the pre-accession process in general and for Bosnia and Herzegovina in particular. It provides a thorough analysis of the AP, taking into account the European Commission (EC)
communication on the Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2009-2010, the 2009 Progress Report and the latest Multi-annual Indicative Planning Document for Bosnia and Herzegovina 2009-2011. The paper is divided into three main parts focusing on political
and economic criteria as well as European standards. Each part provides a short description of the general situation and an analysis of the main problems and then analyses the
consistency of the AP with the abovementioned policy framework. The briefing note closes with conclusions and recommendations.
