Bosnia's Foreign Minister Elmedin Konakovic met on Friday with a group of ambassadors of the Republic of Austria from the region and high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Austria, directors, managers and heads of departments in charge of the Western Balkans, Southeastern Europe, EU enlargement, politics and security.

Minister Konakovic thanked the Republic of Austria for the support and assistance it provided and continues to provide to Bosnia and Herzegovina on a bilateral and multilateral level and emphasized the importance that a positive decision of the European Council in March would have for Bosnia and Herzegovina, for all its citizens, and for its future, to create a better environment, economic development and political stability.

He emphasized Bosnia and Herzegovina's unquestionable commitment to further strengthening regional cooperation and continuous activities that it follows and implements in all regional initiatives, considering it an unavoidable need but also a form of support for the integration processes of BiH that lead it towards membership in the European Union.

He cited the Western Balkans Six (WB6), the Berlin process, the EU strategy for the Danube region and all other initiatives as extremely important for the further path of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The minister discussed with the guests the relations with the countries in the region, the activities that the political leadership insists on to achieve positive results, and the possibilities of progress in achieving the key priorities that have been set before Bosnia and Herzegovina, stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
