The European Union Delegation and EUSR welcome the announcement that the results of the population and housing census will be finalised in accordance with the recommendations of the International Monitoring Operation (IMO). The results of the 2013 census in BiH, which have received considerable financial and technical assistance from the EU, are of considerable importance for the integration process with the EU.  The census results are also very useful for the economic and social planning which is a necessary part of the Reform Agenda.
