DODIK: WE EXPECT NEGOTIATION CHAPTERS TO BE OPENED IN MARCH

EAST SARAJEVO, NOVEMBER 20 /SRNA/ - SNSD Leader Milorad Dodik expressed the hope that based on the law on border control and the law on personal data, which are the minimum for the further movement of BiH towards the EU, negotiation chapters between BiH and the Union should be opened in March of the following year.

"We are waiting for the formulations agreed by those from Europe, and these two laws are the minimum of what they told us is for the further movement of BiH towards the EU, i.e. which enable the proponent to say before the European forums that progress has been made in BiH", Dodik told the press in East Sarajevo after the meeting of the leaders of the partner parties in the government at BiH level. He said that the condition for the first tranche of money from the EU is the Growth Plan, which has not been agreed upon, and that the formulation from Brussels is awaited. "We have been informed that it now arrived, but did not come to our table," said Dodik.
