Bosnia and Herzegovina has taken significant steps to improvemigrationmanagement. The Ministry of Security continued efforts to improve coordination with local authorities and boosted international cooperation. However, major weaknesses still undermine the provision of necessary assistance. Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to urgently adopt the strategy and action plan on migration, step up efforts to ensure access to asylum, and strengthen border management.
Bosnia and Herzegovina remains at an early stage in terms ofcapacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces in the EUand did not make significant progress in this area. The quality of education has remained low, while insufficient action was taken to improve the transport and energy infrastructure. The trade and transport sectors both grew in terms of their relative economic importance (in value-added terms) as a response to strong external demand, while the size of the public sector in the economy was slightly lower by the same measure.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is at an early stage/has some level of preparation in its ability to take on theobligations of EU membership. The country needs to significantly step up alignment with the EUacquisand implement and enforce the necessary legislation. Limited to no progress was made on the different EUacquischapters during the reporting period.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has some level of preparation and made some progress in the area ofpublic procurementas amendments adopted in August have further aligned the legislation with the EUacquis. This is a first important step on the commitments taken on 12 June and contributes to address key priority 7. There was limited progress was made onstatistics; preparations for the next census have hardly progressed and the production of macroeconomic statistics continues to deviate from the EUacquis. Some progress was made on public internalfinancial control, with both entities adopting strategies.
Bosnia and Herzegovina made limited or no progress in most areas ofcompetitiveness and inclusive growth(taxation, digital transformation and media, social policy and employment, enterprise and industrial policy, science and research, education and culture) and some progress in the area of customs union. The country showed backsliding in other areas (economic and monetary policy) where it is at an early stage or has some level of preparation. These areas have significant links to the country''s Economic Reform Programme. Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to introduce socio-economic reforms to address structural weaknesses (including low competitiveness and high unemployment), and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bosnia and Herzegovina made no progress in the areas ofresources, agriculture and cohesion(agriculture and rural development, food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy, fisheries, and financial and budgetary provisions), where preparation is mostly at an early stage. The country must step up its efforts to prepare and adopt a post-2021 countrywide strategy for rural development, align its legislation on food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy and strengthen its administrative capacities. More efforts are also needed to prepare and adopt a countrywide strategy on fisheries and aquaculture and harmonise data collection. Furthermore, Bosnia and Herzegovina should start preparing a countrywide regional development strategy.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has some level of preparation and made some progress in the cluster onexternal relations, in particular by improving its alignment with EU foreign policy statements and restrictive measures, which increased to 81% by end August 2022. The country needs to implement the additional protocols to the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) on trade facilitation and trade and services, and swiftly adopt the additional protocol on dispute settlement. Bosnia and Herzegovina continued to actively participate inregional cooperationand to maintain good neighbourly relations.
In 2021, Bosnia and Herzegovina benefited from EUR 73 million under theInstrument for Pre-accession Assistance 2021 – 2027 (IPA III), providing support to programmes in migration and border management, the electoral process, energy, transport, employment and social protection, as well as private sector and regional development. This first set of programmes, complemented by a package of multi-country programmes, significant contributes to kick-starting implementation of theEconomic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkansand theGreen Agenda. Adopting countrywide sector strategies remains a key requirement for Bosnia and Herzegovina to benefit fully from IPA funding in the future.
