Abstract

Bosnia and Herzegovina has signed a Stability and Association Agreement with the EU. It is also a recipient of Pre-Accession Assistance that seeks to improve its observance of rule of law and human rights with the end in view of transforming it to a functional state and eventually join the EU. Experiencing the consequences of a tumultuous and conflict-ridden history, the country faces problems on governance, economic development, discrimination among many others. International organizations, including the EU, have been involved in securing and implementing needed reforms. The paper examines relevant interventions, challenges and prospects for completing the unfinished work of the EU in the country.
