FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, October 23 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of BiH, Mirko Šarović today submitted to the BiH Council of Ministers an initiative to pass the so-called "Mini-Schengen" joint declaration for the improvement of the regional economic space, allowing full and free movement of people, goods, capital and services throughout the region.

It is a declaration recently launched by three countries (Serbia, Northern Macedonia and Albania), inviting other countries in the region to join them, aimed at removing border controls and other obstacles to free movement within the free trade area - CEFTA for all countries in the Western Balkans, by 2021 at the latest, announced the BiH Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations.

The initiative, among other, envisages the possibility of crossing the borders with an ID card, the recognition of diplomas and equal opportunity to work with the acquired qualifications in all countries of the region.

It will also allow for unhindered flow of goods without the holding at the borders, which is particularly important given that according to the World Bank, trucks at border crossings within the Western Balkans spend about 26 million hours a year.

Minister Šarović’s opinion is that the BiH Council of Ministers should support this initiative as soon as possible, with the assessment that its entry into force will strongly affect the economic growth of all countries in the region.
