H.E. Mr. Vanja Filipovic:

As far as the new European Political Community goes, the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Džaferovi, attended the meeting. I believe the results were encouraging. They showed that we need to think of new ways of holding discussions that are more appropriate for the challenges that we face as European nations, regardless of whether we are EU members, EU aspirants or outside the framework completely. Bosnia and Herzegovina appreciates the opportunity to participate and is encouraged by what took place. EU assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina has been very generous. There has been much finance for various projects for everything from the reform of institutions and their functionality to infrastructural projects and various initiatives. We have benefited in many ways from the generous assistance. We look forward to continuing that type of co-operation. During the crisis with the floods in 2014 and during the Covid-19 outbreak, there was generous additional assistance to our country.
