EUPM hosts six EU journalists

The EU Police Mission has organised a visit to EUPM and Bosnia and Herzegovina for six Brussels-based correspondents representing leading European Union media.

One of the highlights of the visit is the recent adoption of the laws on police reform leading to the expected signing of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, and the challenges that await both local and international community in BiH as the country moves closer to the EU.
