SARAJEVO, March 4 (Xinhua) --Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has made impressive progress towards the European Union (EU), visiting EU foreign policy chief said here on Saturday.

Federica Mogherini, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, made the comment at a press conference following her meeting with BiH Chairman of Council of Ministers Denis Zvizdic.

Recalling the skepticism occurred two years ago in terms of BiH's progress towards the EU, Mogherini said, but two years later, the country has made impressive strides towards the EU.

For his part, Zvizdic said that BiH made very noticeable steps forward in the last 20 months, but stressed that further integration process would depend solely on BiH.

According to the latest polls, more than 78 percent of BiH citizens committed to the EU path, added Zvizdic.

During her visit, Mogherini also met members of the presidency of BiH and other high officials of the country.

On Feb. 15, 2016, BiH formally submitted its application to join the EU. The EU's 28 member states on Sept. 20, 2016 accepted BiH's membership application.
