The task of adjustment to request and standards of European Union can be done in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in FR Yugoslavia only by those who are the most competent, patient, persistent and optimistic. All others should move away from the road to Brussels, since among obstacles that cannot be avoided is the whole mass of laws, regulations and other documents that by character and by style have to be completely adjusted with the Union standards. Experience of the states that are well on the road to Brussels shows that the governments in Sarajevo and in Belgrade are facing between 7 and 20 thousand of regulations, decrees, international rules, conventions, classifications, recommendations or other documents, states the SENSE agency. All of these have to be adjusted or written anew and then pass through legal filters of parliamentary decision. That is why the "Road map" was directed to the competent organs in these two states, which is to lead them to the aim - to Bosnia and Herzegovina it is stated in 18 strict preconditions that should have been fulfilled by the end of the June, and only 6 really have been fulfilled so far. Fr Yugoslavia received recommendations in the form of oral and written guidelines that must be applied till the beginning of political dialogue scheduled immediately after summer holidays end. Number of legal and other documents that are to be adjusted with the Brussels# legislative depends on the character of the present legal system in each of the states that are preparing themselves to the joint membership and on degree of adequacy of the present legislation. Measured by the number of adjusted laws and other regulations, BiH is at the moment far ahead of FR Yugoslavia, since adjustments began in 1997. BiH has the Ministry of European integrations under which special sector for adjustment of the legal system works successfully, while FRY has nothing similar yet. BiH has already adopted or initiated parliamentary procedure for many laws that FRY is yet to write, from the new Law on statistics till the Law on protection of intellectual property, Law on hunting and fishing and Law on ecology. However, BiH and FRY have one dangerous thing in common with the European Union - they have no united and efficient central authority. Belgrade and Podgorica are not a bit more politically closer than Sarajevo and Banja Luka, which seriously complicates the processes of adjustment with EU. The bad consolation is the fact that from the very beginning of foundation of the European Economic Community the present Union lives with similar problems, which is at the same time its greatest deficiency in comparison with the USA, Germany or Swiss federation. In Sarajevo and Belgrade, the extent of the task that competent organs of the central governments face is unwillingly spoken about, because, among other things, from day to day new dissimilarities of present laws with Western standards are being found. "We have no reliable information on the number of laws and other regulations that need to be adjusted, since there are many levels of decision," said and expert in the Ministry of European integrations of BiH. Croatia went much farther because, among other things, Zagreb did not run away from copying the practice of its closest neighbours that have come through majority of similar troubles. At the moment, the turn is on radical reconstruction of national statistic system whose methodology and standards must be adjusted with recommendations of statistic agency of EU - Eurostat in Luxembourg. According to European priorities, the greatest task that statisticians of Croatia face is adjustment of methodology of monitoring foreign trade, implementation of standards on comparability of regional economies and statistical monitoring of small and medium enterprises. Although it has recently passed the state Law on statistics and directed it to the BiH Parliament, the central government in Sarajevo is yet to face the main task in this field. The Government in Belgrade, however, is trying to solve the problem of legal standardisation in a package and with a shortcut, by replicating Austrian - German legislation, since they consider it the best quality system in Europe.
