Hungarian government supports Bosnia and Herzegovina’s EU integration
Change language:
“Under the motto of responsible neighbourhood policies, Hungary will do everything to help the Western Balkans, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, preserve its stability and peace, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Friday.
At a joint press conference held with Elmedin Konakovic, his Bosnian counterpart, Szijjártó said “Europe does not need another security challenge, and the Western Balkans’ peace and stability is crucial.” The Hungarian government is a committed supporter of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s European Union integration and is helping the process with experts, Szijjártó said. He insisted that “the growth potential of the EU is exclusively in the Western Balkans, geographically and economically, therefore the community needs the region more than vice versa.” He called on “our friends in western Europe and Brussels bureaucrats to stop hindering enlargement of the EU and put an end to the hypocrisy.”
“We have had enough of some member states and Brussels bureaucrats supporting enlargement in public and then … when we are behind closed doors they will oppose it,” he said. Szijjártó noted that Hungary had 164 troops in the UN’s peace keeping mission in Bosnia, adding that the government had earmarked 800,000 dollars for defence development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from the funds originally intended to finance Afghanistan’s army.
Admitting Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Serbia into the EU at the moment would be like bringing a hand grenade into the the EU dining room. Notice that Hungary specifically provides assistance to the separatist Bosnian Serb Republic. This is a bastion of left over genocidal maniacs. The people that murdered thousands of men and boys at Srebrenica still hate ethnic Bosniaks and wish they had finished the job of killing them. Serbia meanwhile broadcasts on national television hate filled programs glorifying violent nationalist mafia leaders. The culture of these people is completely incompatible with European values. To be sure there are plenty of normal people living there, perhaps even the majority of people and these are the ones who have been protesting in the streets at the Serbian government’s failure to suppress violence and general criminality in the country. These countries need to normalize before they can be admitted into the EU and yes that should be the ultimate goal.
