The meeting discussed situation in Slovenia recent after stormy weather and related reconstruction process. Prime Minister Golob thanked for support BIH extended to Slovenia. Chairwoman Krišto said a support to all countries in times of crises, especially to friends such as Slovenia is, is something that is presumed and not to be taken into question.

All these reform laws take our country a step forward towards the European Union, and are the proof of our devoted and accelerated effort to fulfil requirements needed for accession to the European Union.(end)
