Moldovan and Bosnian Foreign Affairs Minister Tudor Ulianovschi and Igor Crnadak signed a joint declaration on European integration and cooperation between the two countries on Tuesday in Chisinau.

The document says that Moldova and Bosnia and Herzegovina will support each other on their European path.

The gathering is held in Sarajevo, and hosted by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia-Herzegovina Igor Crnadak, the Serbian government has announced.

Former Bosnian Army and Croatian Defence Council troops called on MPs to respond to their demands for benefits for unemployed veterans and a proper unified register of those who fought in the 1992-95 war.

EU's new strategy "holds out the prospect that two countries could 'potentially' be ready to join the EU by 2025."

These are Serbia and Montenegro, writes the website Politico, in a piece dedicated to EU's enlargement strategy for the Western Balkans, unveiled on Tuesday.

The Serbian government announced this, quoting Brnabic as saying that "the Balkans needs Europe, but that the Balkans is also needed by Europe."

Brnabic said that European integration of the countries of the Western Balkans is an important factor for the future of the region.

The draft of a joint declaration of the RS and Serbia on the survival of the Serb people is nearly completed, with come nuances remaining to be done.

The idea concerns "redefining" the Dayton Peace Accord signed in 1995 to end the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH).

According to the former Slovak foreign minister and former high international representative in Bosnia , it is "not realistic to once again sign an agreement that would define that country," N1 and Beta are reporting on Friday.
