Summary/Abstract: At the end of the second decade of the 21st century the European Union (EU) – presentinga new strategy of enlargement policy, organising an official summit of the state leaders anddevoting to potential accessions the meeting of the Council of the EU – recalled that the futureof the Western Balkans lies in the EU. Therefore, there is a reasonable question: whether theintensification of the EU’s enlargement policy will affect favourably Bosnia and Herzegovina,a state considered as a potential candidate for the membership since 2003? Basing on (interalia) official documents issued by the EU institutions, macroeconomic data and in relation tothe EU’s policy towards the Western Balkans region, it is worthwhile to suppose, that – despitenumerous (political, economic, social) deficits and weaknesses – Bosnia and Herzegovina, which applied for membership in the EU in 2016, will receive the status of an official candidatecountry soon (in the third decade of the 21st century).
