The Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina reported that Governor Jasmina Selimovic participated in the Belgian-Dutch Constituency annual meeting in Luxembourg from 2 to 4 July 2025, where members discussed EU enlargement and broader policy priorities in a fragmented geopolitical environment. Sessions and working groups covered the process and conditions for EU enlargement, World Bank Group priorities in Europe, climate transition and digital transformation, innovative policies, infrastructure development, and inclusion and resilience. Discussions also addressed fiscal policy under changed geopolitical conditions, including increased defence and security spending needs, and explored ways to deepen cooperation between the European Union and neighbouring countries at different stages of the accession process; Selimovic highlighted the objective of starting EU accession negotiations as soon as possible. On the sidelines, Selimovic held bilateral meetings with the Governor of the Central Bank of Luxembourg, representatives of the Central Bank of Belgium, IMF constituency and Europe leadership, and other international institutions to discuss deepening cooperation and exchanging good practices, with a stated goal of aligning Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina processes with Eurosystem central bank practices.
