Press Release: Albania and Bosnia & Herzegovina: political commitment is key to path towards EU

Members of the European Parliament sitting at the Foreign Affairs committee underlined on 14 April 2015 the need for inclusive, constructive and sustainable political dialogue on reforms and for greater cooperation between the political forces in Albania and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In their assessment of the progress made in 2014, they restate their ongoing support for the EU integration process in the two countries but say both need to advance, inter alia, with their democratic processes, tackle corruption and put in place a professional and depoliticised public administration.
