Međutim, ocijenio je kako će pristupni pregovori trajati “500 godina i duže”. Kazao je kako je bio za otvaranje pregovora o članstvu Bosne i Hercegovine i prije premijera Andreja Plenkovića.

– Pregovori o ulasku BiH u EU će trajati duže nego što je bila pod Turcima – ocijenio je Milanović.

Ponovio je da bi, da je na mjestu Plenkovića, tražio da se Hrvatima u BiH osigura pravo da biraju svog člana Predsjedništva BiH.

– Treba se izboriti za ono što im je oteto, ono što im pripada prema Dejtonu, što se Plenković nije usudio da napravi, a ja ću to uraditi odmah – poručio je Milanović.

Milanović: “Pristupni pregovori o ulasku BiH u EU će trajati duže nego što je bila pod Turcima”

Croatian President Zoran Milanović said he would vote in the European Council to open membership negotiations for Bosnia and Herzegovina with the EU. However, he assessed that the accession negotiations would last “500 years and longer.” He stated that he supported the opening of membership negotiations for Bosnia and Herzegovina even before Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.

– Negotiations for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s accession to the EU will last longer than they did under the Ottomans – Milanović assessed.

He reiterated that if he were in Plenković’s position, he would demand that Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina be guaranteed the right to elect their member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

– We should fight for what has been taken from them, what belongs to them according to the Dayton Agreement, something Plenković didn’t dare to do, but I will do it right away – Milanović stated.
