Croatian President, PM welcome recommendation for opening of accession talks between Bosnia and EU

The European Commission's decision to recommend opening accession talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of Croatia's most important foreign policy achievements in this government's term, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Tuesday while commenting on the statement by EC President Ursula von der Leyen.
