BiH still committing to EU path after UK referendum: FM

Xinhua, June 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

"Nothing will happen overnight. Procedures within the UK and those relating to the dissolution of the EU are such that this is a process that takes years. Therefore, we should be calm and look at the first implications of the voting results of citizens of Great Britain," said Crnadak.
