The European Union donates minivan to Bosnian-Podrinje Canton Goražde
The EU has continued their support to police agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina in their day-to-day operations in the field. As part of this support, they have donated a minivan worth BAM 79,900 to the Ministry of Interior of Bosnian-Podrinje Canton Goražde. The van will enable greater capacity in the transportation of people as well as allow greater mobility of police officers in the field – both in the canton and, if necessary, throughout BiH.
Since 2018, the European Union has continued to support Bosnia and Herzegovina in migration and border management systems in the context of the increased number of refugees and migrants present in the country since the end of 2017. So far, the European Union has invested more than €8 million in supporting police agencies in BiH through procurement of equipment and capacity building. Since 2017, the European Union has allocated over €100 million to supporting migration and border management systems in BiH.
The “EU Support to Migration and Border Management in Bosnia and Herzegovina” project is funded by the European Union through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance and is implemented by the International Organisation for Migration in partnership with the Danish Refugee Council, UNFPA, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and Unicef.
