Happy Independence Day to my dear friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦

My greatest respect for all those who fight for BiH’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Then and now. Against all odds.

The European Parliament will always be on your side.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 1 mrt 2023, 16:45

Happy independence day Bosnia and Herzegovina! Let us ensure that we draw the lessons from the bloody past, and work towards a fully inclusive and democratic Bosnian society. And consequently, be warmly welcomed into the EU.

@EP_Justice Nasiri: "I heard that one of my friends killed himself by throwing himself into a river in Bosnia. He was only 15 years old. Another close friend committed suicide in BE due to stress. Like them, there are many other children on the move in distress, while one needs protection."

Frank and open exchange today with 🇧🇦 @OHR_BiH Christian Schmidt in the European Parliament.

The Parliament’s position, adopted last week, is clear. This position has not changed. Our concern for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s European future remains. (Adopted amendment)

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) vr 16 dec 2022, 13:06

I warmly congratulate all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the EU membership candidate status. We are Europeans and we have a shared 🇪🇺 future! 🇪🇺🤝🇧🇦 1/2

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) di 13 dec 2022, 15:57

Just in: this Thursday, Bosnia and Herzegovina will receive the status of EU candidate country. EU Member States made the right decision. It is now crucial that all political forces in 🇧🇦 set their differences aside and work with determination towards EU Membership.

This press release says it all: “EU invests money in Bosnia to detain and return all migrants, as they are just fake refugees. They have no access to an asylum procedure, but we don’t care.” Shame on you EU! Commissioner Olivér VÁRHELYI in Bosnia Migration europa.eu/!pPNGw6

Happy 🇧🇦 statehood day to our friend @SasaMagazinovic and to all other citizens and friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the country and all over the world.

Together we will work on unity and stronger and resilient institutions, preparing 🇧🇦 for its 🇪🇺 future #dandrzavnosti

❗ BREAK: European Commission to recommend candidate status for Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 in the European Parliament this afternoon. An absolute necessity for a geopolitical EU. Member States must now make the right call and support the people of BiH on their European path.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) ma 3 okt 2022, 16:27

I warmly welcome the results of yesterday’s elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It looks like many citizens rejected the ethno-nationalist corrupted politics of the past, and show to be in favour of EU integration. The EU should grasp this momentum to help the country forward.

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) zo 2 okt 2022, 10:42

#BiH 🗳 Important day for Bosnia Herzegovina! Election of hopefully new leadership, that can actually do something with a 🇪🇺 candidate status I would be in favor of and that can bring about necessary reforms and concrete improvements in the daily life of all #BiH citizens.✌🏼🇧🇦

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) vr 30 sep 2022, 17:28

Together with my colleague MEP’s we are preparing for the observation mission for the elections in Bosnia on Sunday. Let’s hope for a high turnout and genuinely free and fair elections. Bosnian citizens deserve a fully fledged democracy.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) vr 15 jul 2022, 10:48

While the EU needs to win back trust in the Western Balkans through renewed and serious commitment, giving unconditional candidate status to Bosnia Herzegovina right now could have adverse effects, especially in light of the upcoming elections.

After 27 years, the Dutch government apologized for the fall of Srebrenica. Awaited for a long time, but still of immense significance for the survivors, families and Bosnia.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 23 jun 2022, 20:46

Congratulations for the citizens of Ukraine and Moldova. But this moment should have been the kick off of the negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania, visa liberalisation for Kosovo and a concrete perspective for Bosnia Herzegovina. The WB citizens deserve to come closer.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 13:19

My congratulations to the well deserved winner! By awarding @QuoVadisAida this year's @luxaward, the European Parliament sends out a strong signal that we may never forget the tragic past of Srebrenica and Bosnia. Sadly, a story that is again very relevant with the war in Ukraine

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) vr 25 mrt 2022, 11:36

Regretfully, the Council fell for Orbán's pressure last week, making it de facto impossible to impose sanctions against actors threatening the security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thereby deviating from its own guidelines. We ask @JosepBorrellF for an explanation 👇

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 17 mrt 2022, 18:24

The EU should take this direct threat to Bosnia and Herzegovina very serious, considering the Russian aggression towards Ukraine. I expect an official condemnation by @JosepBorrellF, fiercely defending the sovereignty of BiH.

“At a timely moment in history, the EP debates Bosnia and Herzegovina on our request. While Europe was sanctioning Putin’s regime, Dodik continued his alliance with the Kremlin, holding meetings with the Ambassador and Foreign Minister Lavrov.” 1/2

+1Together with colleagues, I wrote a letter to @JosepBorrellF, to urge the EU Commission to extend the sanctions framework for Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is set to expire this month. Non-extension would send an extremely wrong signal and might create a climate of impunity.

+1With colleagues from the 4 largest political groups, we call on a different EU strategy towards the crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

👉 One where we put democracy and the rule of law at the centre instead of appeasing Dodik to halt his destructive agenda.

Very worrying news from Bosnia and Herzegovina today. Commissioner Varhelyi cannot permit himself any (new) hint or suggestion that he is serving other interests or agenda’s than the EU’s and the 🇧🇦 people’s. This is clearly not helpful at all! (1/2)

"The EU needs to urgently shift away from its current Bosnia policy of appeasement, which is ineffective and a slap in the face of democratic forces in the country.

I urge the Council: impose sanctions on Dodik and prevent another security crisis in our neighbourhood."

Today’s Foreign Affairs Council is a crucial moment for the EU to speak out against the recent narrative of ethnic division and exclusion in Bosnia, and set a first step to renewed engagement in the western Balkans.

Parliament discusses humanitarian situation of migrants in Bosnia, and Danish Refugee Council mentions the elephant in the room: brutal pushbacks by Croatia, leaving migrants stuck in BiH without access to asylum or basic needs. The Commission has to end this shameless impunity.

Former LibDem leader Paddy Ashdown died at 77. He united his party and made it the 3rd political force in the UK. In 2002, I was an Officer of the NATO peace mission and was able to get to know him personally as a committed representative of the international community in Bosnia.
