MINIĆ: WE HAVE MANY OBJECTIONS TO THE REFORM AGENDA

BANJA LUKA, DECEMBER 5 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska Prime Minister Savo Minić stated that Republika Srpska has many objections to the BiH Reform Agenda, which was positively assessed by the European Commission, and emphasized that it will take quite some time before it is implemented.

Minić told reporters in Banja Luka that the Reform Agenda will be sent back for harmonization.

"We have many objections that we will submit to ensure its implementation," Minić said.

He added that this is one of the steps toward accessing EU funds.

The European Commission has positively assessed the BiH Reform Agenda, which is a key step toward securing €976.6 million under the EU Reform and Growth Facility, and the disbursement of the funds will be conditioned on the implementation of the Agenda.
