BiH međutim nije uspjela ostvariti neki značajniji napredak na svom putu integracija od potpisivanja privremenog trgovinskog sporazuma i Sporazuma o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju s Unijom u ljeto 2008. zbog političkih tenzija u zemlji i usporenih reformi.
BiH, however, has failed to make any substantial progress on its integration path since the signing of its interim trade accord and Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the Union in the summer of 2008 due to the political tensions in the country and sluggish reforms.
