Diaspora Speaks Up: Why the EU Should Join Bosnia and Herzegovina, Not Vice Versa
Chat

First come first serve

The EU faces a pivotal moment, driven by geopolitical shifts to focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), a historic crossroads. Despite challenges in corruption, rule of law, and democracy, B&H offers vital lessons. Integration can bolster democratic values and reforms within the EU. The diaspora, straddling dual identities, serves as a bridge, fostering a new era of collaboration and friendship between the EU and B&H.
