These are times of rapid change in the Western Balkans and in Europe, - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said during her visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

 

As she noted, there is new momentum, there is a wind of change that brings the European family closer together.

 

"As you know, we have opened accession negotiations with Albania and North Macedonia. We have also granted candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, and we have recognised Georgia's European perspective. What I want to say is that there is new momentum, there is a wind of change that brings the European family closer together. And now is the time for Bosnia and Herzegovina to move ahead, too. Let us be honest, it seemed impossible, we could not think about it, that we would reach the candidate status, if we think one year back [it seemed impossible one year ago, we could not think about it, that we would reach the candidate status]," she said.
