Abstract (deu)
The case of Bosnia and Herzegovina is particularly illustrative in the context of Western Balkan integration into the European Union. There is also symptomatic lack of strategic actions of the European Union in this country. Bosnia and Herzegovina is perhaps the most prominent example of tendencies of European Union to the region that gives priority to stabilization over democratization. This paper explores the steps to show and grade the efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina in joining the EU and development of the country in its process of integration to the European Union. As Bosnia and Herzegovina is heading for the progress on its path towards European integration, the interest for the European Union is constantly growing, and it is therefore necessary to satisfy the needs for information for further improvement. The focus is on key sources in order to determine the level of success of the current status of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This includes the current negotiating and whether BiH has enough political and social potency to deliver the task. The EU gives a support to countries of Western Balkan that are on the way to become potential candidates with Stabilization and Accession program. It showed the development of countries that had accessed to this program, which is particularly relevant for the countries of the Western Balkans, where Croatia made its way to the EU and is accessing in July 2013. Furthermore, as the European Union is a regional organization of European states, Bosnia is trying to become a part of it and achieve common goals such as the balanced economic and social development, high levels of employment, and to protect the rights and interests of citizens. On its way to the goals, Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to resolve certain problems and obstacles that are strongly inhibiting it from the advancement. The obstacles are of political and economic nature and contain need for the reform of the Constitution, termination of the Sejdic-Finci case, solve a huge problem regarding increased corruption.
