Today, together with 🇪🇺EU Ambassadors in 🇧🇦BiH, we paid a visit to BiH Central Electoral Commission and met with its President Kalaba as well as other @IZBORI_BA members Arnautović, Rogić, Bakalar and CEC Secretary Mišković.
BiH CEC has worked with great commitment and professionalism to ensure the successful conduct of 2026 General Elections and implementation of new technologies, despite many challenges. We thank them and commend their dedication and hard work.
It was also good to discuss the elections overall, in particular the functioning of new technologies, including what lessons can be learned from both positive experiences and challenges so that the process can be further improved.
For our part, the EU and its Member States will continue to stand by BiH CEC and to support the efforts to strengthen electoral integrity and democratic processes in BiH, which are also key elements of the country's path towards the EU membership.
🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦

Denmark strongly disagrees with US decision to impose sanctions on the ICC, which will have immense consequences for the work of the court and the investigation of the most serious international crimes. DK reaffirms its unwavering support to the @IntlCrimCourt.

Glad to host Head of @osce_odihr Election Observation Mission Tana de Zulueta and Dario Jovanović from @pod_lupom for an exchange today with 🇪🇺EU Ambassadors in 🇧🇦BiH.
Independent international and domestic election observation is important in providing a full and clear picture of the electoral process and strengthening public trust in the elections.
We discussed their findings from the Election Day, including on the use of new technologies, and identified successes and challenges.
These insights can be very valuable to improve the process for the future, and ensure even more free, fair and transparent elections.
The EU and its Member States will continue to support such efforts and we thank ODIHR, Pod lupom and all independent observers for their essential work.
🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦

Today, together with Ambassadors and diplomatic representatives of all EU Member States’ Embassies in BiH, we visited the Srebrenica Memorial in Potočari and paid our respects to the victims of the genocide.
The EU’s stance is clear. There is no room for the denial of genocide and crimes against humanity, or for the glorification of those convicted of war crimes. The rulings of international courts are facts to be respected.
The European Union and its Member States will continue to stand firmly with the victims and survivors. Our joint commitment is unwavering. To the truth, to justice, and to remembrance that honours more than 8,000 men and boys murdered in July 1995.
We spoke today with Munira Subašić and other Mothers of Srebrenica who have worked tirelessly to ensure the memory of the victims is never forgotten.
Remembering the Srebrenica genocide is a responsibility towards the future, to rebuild trust and to ensure that new generations inherit peace rather than division.

🙏 to BiH Central Election Commission (CEC) @IZBORI_BA President Jovan Kalaba and Dario Jovanović from 'Pod lupom' Coalition @pod_lupom for joining today our meeting of 🇪🇺EU Ambassadors to 🇧🇦BiH.
President Kalaba updated us on the current state of play of preparation for the upcoming 2026 General Elections, including on introduction of election technologies. Dario Jovanovic explained how they are preparing the extensive election observation and voter education campaign.
The EU🇪🇺 and its Member States are supporting the CEC in strengthening its operational and technical capacities, as well as Pod Lupom in supporting citizen engagement, social media monitoring and election observation.
We will continue to support the CEC in the run up to the upcoming elections in its efforts to increase integrity, transparency and credibility of the election process, which is one of the key elements of the BiH’s path to the EU.

Statement on #Mladić:
Any glorification of war criminals, genocide denial and revisionism contradict the most fundamental European values and have no place in the EU or in EU candidate countries. Full statement 👇🏼

Thank you for a good discussion. Denmark is here to support the EU path and the necessary reforms on the way.
🇧🇦🤝🇩🇰
The European dream continues to be a stabilizing factor for Bosnia and Herzegovina, prompting the necessary development and widespread progress of our country.
Speaking to H.E. 🇩🇰 Ambassador @DKAmbBiH Åge Sandal Møller, I stressed the need to rapidly implement 🇪🇺 reforms while safeguarding the existing constitutional system.
We continue to rely on our European partners not only in the integration path but also in the profound understanding that the equal rights of the three constituent peoples must be upheld, as we move forward on internal and foreign-policy priorities for 🇧🇦.

The inspiring young people of BiH and the region give hope for a better future! 🌟
Last summer, I met 50 incredible young people from 🇧🇦 🇭🇷 🇲🇪 🇷🇸, who came to BiH to take part in the EU-funded State of Peace programme.
Over two weeks, they explored the legacy of the past, engaged with different narratives, and learnt about reconciliation and peacebuilding initiatives across the country.
Tonight, I was very happy to watch a documentary about last year's programme. The film captures the courage of a new generation to listen, connect and build trust across borders.
The European Union is proud to support initiatives like State of Peace!
Huge thanks to all the young people who took part and joined us this evening. Special thanks to @VelmaSaric and @PCRCBiH, who implemented the project and continue to do excellent work empowering young people to learn from the past and help shape a more peaceful future.
🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦

We condemn the physical attack on the Croatian Consul in the centre of Banja Luka on Sunday, which was accompanied by the use of ethnic slurs.
We call on the authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident and bring those responsible to justice.
Tragic tram accident in #Sarajevo earlier today. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the young man who lost his life. I hope for a speedy recovery of those injured.

EU integration, EU membership, EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans. Opportunities for the benefit of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s citizens - opportunities for a better future. Hope that BiH politicians will take the necessary decisions without any further delay and move forward.
EU membership remains the best guarantee for long term prosperity and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The European Union has brought economic growth, security and opportunities across our continent, and this is widely confirmed by economic statistics and citizens’ support in the countries who have joined the EU in the last decades. Our objective is for the same opportunities that exist across the EU to also be available for the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The facts about the enormous benefits of the EU – BiH relationship are clear. EU membership is a path for Bosnia and Herzegovina to more functional democratic institutions, stronger rule of law and fight against corruption, better education and healthcare, improved environmental standards, and an improved quality of life. Two thirds of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s trade is with the EU. The EU has moreover been a consistent friend in challenging times, including following floods in 2014 and 2024 and during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The EU and its Member States are the largest investor and provider of financial assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Only since 2020, the EU has mobilised €2.4 billion in investments for the country. Just yesterday, the BiH Council of Ministers approved a €140 million EU grant for the construction of the Mostar bypass.
Now, the EU Growth Plan for the Western Balkans offers huge opportunities for Bosnia and Herzegovina to receive up to €976.5 million in exchange for reforms that will demonstrably improve the quality of life for citizens, such as wider broadband provision, an improved business climate, better education and much more.
It would be a huge loss for the future of BiH citizens if the country did not take the necessary steps to fully benefit from these great opportunities. Citizens in other countries in the region are already benefiting from the Growth Plan.
The door to EU membership for Bosnia and Herzegovina is open. A majority of BiH citizens wish for a future in the EU, and understand this is the best option for the country. It is in the interests of all that BiH makes progress on its path towards the EU.

Thank you to 🇧🇦 BiH Justice Minister @BunozaDavor for joining our meeting of 🇪🇺 EU Ambassadors in #BiH today.
Reforms in the area of judiciary are fundamental to the EU accession process. Progress in adopting the Law on HJPC and Law on Courts has recently slowed. It is important to step up the pace, as adopting them in line with European standards is essential to reach the next milestone in the EU accession process - the first Intergovernmental Conference to open accession negotiations.
We also spoke about the state of play in implementing the Moneyval Committee's recommendations to strengthen the fight against money laundering. Urgent and decisive action is needed to reduce the risks that BiH might be put on the "greylist" later this year.
Constitutional and Electoral-Law reform to implement European Court of Human Rights rulings remains a priority. We discussed the progress of the Working Group established by the BiH Council of Ministers to address this.
The next few weeks will be decisive in determining whether the BiH authorities wish to use the opportunities available for progress on the EU path. We will continue to urge them to take decisions that will benefit citizens and allow BiH to move forward towards an EU future.
🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦
Thank you for a good meeting. 🇩🇰🤝🇧🇦
