The B&H Council of Ministers today adopted today a decision on the establishment of the Commission for Cooperation with NATO, as well as the Reform Program to be forwarded to Brussels.

The B&H Foreign Minister Bisera Turković at a news conference after the CoM session said that the commission's name has been changed from the original "the Commission for the integration into NATO" to the present name of the Commission.

She explained that the commission will consist of seven representatives from each of the constituent peoples, who will make decisions according to the same principle as it is done in the Council of Ministers, in two rounds of voting.

Turković added that the vaccination against Covid was also a topic of today's session and that "we are still in the phase of waiting for that process to begin."

-We have a confirmation that B&H has a "cold chain" capacity for the storage of Pfizer vaccines, and we have an announcement that the vaccines could arrive in the next few days- said Turković.

She underlined that B&H has paid the requested amount of money for the vaccines on time and fulfilled other preconditions for their procurement and that if there is guilt for the delay of the vaccine, then it is on the side of the supplier.

Turković pointed out that after the affair with the procurement of ventilators, few would have the courage to embark on the process of the procurement of vaccines through a private contractor.
