<p>The recent EU Initiative for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) stresses the need for
socio-economic reform which aims to tackle, amongst other important issues, unemployment.
During his visit to BiH last week with his German counterpart, the Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede
and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) reiterated Her Majesty’s Government support for the EU
Initiative, and emphasised that it was time to stabilise and stimulate the economy
and to create jobs – especially for the young. We welcome the BiH Presidency’s agreement
to a written commitment to the EU Initiative, and look forward to their pledges being
swiftly implemented.</p><p> </p>
