Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel says that Bosnia-Herzegovina must continue police reform. He told Banja Luka daily Nezavisne Novine that Bosnia-Herzegovina had to effect constitutional changes in order to remove barriers to the decision-making process. Rupel: Police reform must continue Rupel said that his country was “satisfied with the results of its EU presidency, especially because Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia signed the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU.” Asked whether constitutional reform in Bosnia-Herzegovina would be necessary for Sarajevo’s further progress towards EU membership, the minister said that constitutional reform “is not in itself a condition for EU membership,” but that the “constitution could make Bosnia-Herzegovina’s road towards the EU harder if there was obstruction of the decision-making process or further problems linked to the functionality of the state system.” He stated that the EU expected police reform to continue in Bosnia-Herzegovina, adding that it was necessary to create a functional police system at state level, and compatibility in terms of organization and cooperation as elements of a single police structure, without which, he said, “there cannot be a successful fight against organized crime.” Rupel said that he was optimistic as regards the completion of all conditions needed for the closure of the Office of the High Representative (OHR), adding that the election campaign ahead of the October local elections would be a chance for calm and argumentative campaigning to show that the country was on the road to closing down the OHR.
