Possibilities of co-operation in 2018 between the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe and Sarajevo where discussed at a meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Igor CRNADAK, and Congress Secretary General Andreas KIEFER. A regional conference on European integration and the role of local and regional authorities, to be held in spring in Bosnia and Herzegovina, were among the topics discussed which included also the possible observation of regional elections for the House of Peoples of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in autumn 2018. In addition, the Secretary General up-dated the Minister on Congress’ activities in progress with regard to the situation of the city of Mostar where no local elections have been organised since almost ten years. In conclusion, there was an exchange on the next regular Congress’ monitoring mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to sound out the current situation of grassroots’ democracy in the country and ways to strengthen the implementation of the European Charter of Local Self-Government.
