Golob’s visit underscores Bosnia-Herzegovina a priority for Slovenia

Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob underlined his choice of Bosnia-Herzegovina for his first official visit abroad by announcing in Sarajevo on 13 March that Slovenia wanted to be Bosnia's strongest ally. Golob pledged extensive technical support in Bosnia's EU membership efforts, speaking of a historic opportunity in the face of a changed attitude to enlargement.

The visit came in the wake of a January trip to Bosnia by Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon and after the country was granted EU candidate status last December in a decision which Slovenia lobbied for extensively.
