Summary/Abstract: On 21 March 2011 the Council of the European Union stated that the SAA could only enter into force after Bosnian politicians made a credible effort to bring the country’s constitution in line with the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR).7 On 16 October 2013 the European Commission published its annual report on Bosnia. || So far, however, these warnings have not been enough to reach an agreeement. A recent ESI report, “Lost in Bosnian labyrinth. Why the Sejdic-Finci case should not block an EU application” cites two reasons for this. The first is that what is being asked of Bosnian leaders has not been asked of other EU candidates. The second is that what is being asked of them is much easier said than done.
