Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency Chairman Zeljko Komsic has submitted a request for receiving the NATO membership action plan. The military alliance's secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said after his meeting with the Bosnian delegation on Friday in Brussels that the bid was "the best way toward lasting stability in the Euro-Atlantic region". Bosnia submits NATO membership bid "I would like for all Western Balkans countries to be integrated into NATO," said he. But Rasmussen also stressed that Bosnia needs to continue and accelerate reforms, "especially when it comes to strengthening democratic institutions, changes to the Constitution and defense issues", the alliance's website said. The Bosnian delegation also included Foreign Minister Sven Alkalaj and Defense Minister Selmo Cikotic. Ahead of his trip to Brussels, Komsic stated that the decision was made unanimously in the Bosnian presidency, and that it was "very important for Bosnia-Herzegovina". The action plan in question is meant to prepare candidate countries for full-fledged NATO membership. Rasmussen also discussed Bosnia contribution to the NATO mission in Afghanistan with the Bosnian delegation, and the progress made in the Partnership for Peace program.
