I will also share with you my thoughts on conditionality as it has emerged from the Sintra Declaration . The notion of minimal progress since the end of the war is clearly wrong. People have started working again, rebuilding destruction of war and opening businesses. The Common Institutions specified in the Constitution have been set up. Freedom of Movement has improved.
Goods move increasingly between the entities.
Some 88,000 refugees and 164,000 displaced persons returned last year. Threats to fundamental human rights have diminished. In the economic field, the Quick Start Package of essential legislation has been adopted. The Entities have started to coordinate their economic policies. Progress in economic reconstruction is fueling a remarkable recovery while inflation remains under control, although the Republika Srpska has yet to join in this success.
