Dr. Renzo Daviddi held the long-awaited lecture on ''Integration of the Rest of the Balkan Countries to EU: Prospects and Challenges" in full amphitheater of the University. During the lecture, he spoke about the European Union, its mechanisms for accessing, the problems and realistic expectations for entry of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Turkey regarding the EU. He also states that the problem is not just in approaching the acquis, but there is also a problem in the lack of political will of the leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to move forward in the process of European integration.
''Here we have a really fundamental question and that is the un-fulfillment of the decision in the case of " Sejdić-Finci ", which is a prerequisite for even considering the activation of the agreement for this country in order to continue to progress in the process of integration into the European Union’’ - said Dr. Daviddi. At the end of the lecture, he thanked the University for the invitation and expressed his wish to visit IUS again.
