Policymaking framework for sustainable development and environmental protection

An important driver in the reform efforts of the BiH environment sector since the first Environmental Performance Reviews (EPR), carried out in 2003 has been the prospect of eventual European Union (EU) membership and the adoption and transposition of the EU acquis. The pre-accession period has created important opportunities for the country to start systematically adapting its laws and accessing additional resources and technical assistance, before completing the stabilization and association process. However, the EU accession process has created complex challenges for BiH, since adoption of the entire EU environmental acquis requires extensive changes to the existing institutional and legal framework.
