The European Union agreed on Tuesday to grant Bosnia "candidate status" to join the union.
European affairs ministers meeting in Brussels gave the green light to Bosnia becoming a candidate after the bloc's executive arm in October recommended that they launch the membership process.
The step is expected to be signed off formally by EU leaders at a summit in Brussels on Thursday.
The EU's executive branch, the European Commission, has laid out 14 priorities for reform that it insists Bosnia must make good on before it can move on to the next stage of opening formal accession negotiations.
Bosnia will join seven other nations with candidate status, which includes Turkey, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, Moldova and Ukraine.
Ukraine and Moldova were the most recent countries to be made candidates when they were given the status in June.
