In that context, he stressed the importance of keeping the Alliance’s focus on the Western Balkans. Grlić Radman highlighted the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, adding that an agreement on changing the Election Act would be a big step towards further Euro-Atlantic integration and security in the country, as it would eliminate discrimination, respect the equality of the three constituent nations and enable the Croats in the country to elect their legitimate representatives.
