Memo: Commissioner Füle and Secretary General Jagland regret the lack of progress in implementing the Sejdić-Finci judgement

Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Mr Štefan Füle and Secretary General of the Council of Europe Mr Thorbjørn Jagland deeply regret the lack of progress in reaching an agreement on the implementation of the European Court for Human Rights judgment in the Sejdić-Finci case in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Commissioner Füle and Secretary General Jagland regret that narrow party and ethnic interests continue to prevail over genuine engagement to end the constitutional discrimination of many citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and bring the legislation in line with the European Convention on Human Rights.
