The Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has completed a process of responding to additional 655 questions from the European Commission's Questionnaire, BiH's Prime Minister Denis Zvizdic confirmed here on Monday.
Zvizdic said that he expects authorities in the EU to understand the importance for the country to get the candidate status and the great effort and progress that the country has made in the last four years.
"This would be the best and most positive message for BiH citizens, investors and youth. I expect we will receive such a message during this year," Zvizdic said.
Among the additional questions, 106 refer to the political criteria. They are followed by 43 questions in social policy and employment, 38 questions in transport policy, 36 injustice, freedom and security and 33 in the economic criteria.
On Feb. 28, 2018, BiH handed the answered EU accession questionnaire with a total of 3,242 questions to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, after which the EC sent additional 655 questions.
