SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Bosnia must press ahead quickly with reforms to keep alive its hopes of being named a candidate to join the European Union by the end of next year, EU enlargement chief Johannes Hahn said on Monday.

Hahn said the ethnically divided Balkan country had made good progress on its EU path last year but must now make good on pledges made last month in Brussels when it handed in its application to join the 28-nation bloc.
