News / Bosnia and Herzegovina establishes full cooperation with Europol
Bosnia and Herzegovina has now established full cooperation with the EU’s Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) with the opening of new premises of the National/Joint Contact Point of BiH in the Greece–Bosnia and Herzegovina Friendship Building, which houses the BiH Ministry of Security.
This is an important milestone for Bosnia and Herzegovina, enabling direct cooperation between Europol and all law enforcement agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the deployment of BiH liaison officer to Europol in The Hague. This will greatly contribute to BiH’s efforts in strengthening the prevention and fight against organised crime and corruption, which is one of 14 key priorities of European Commission’s Opinion on BiH’s application for EU membership.
The EU has continuously advocated for and supported the operationalisation of the Contact Point, including assisting in the drafting of the rules of procedure, refurbishing the new premises and donating IT equipment necessary for its work.
