BiH modernizing Automated Palmprint and Fingerprint Identification System

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, February 22 (FENA) - Bosnia and Herzegovina is modernizing the Automated Palmprint and Fingerprint Identification System AFIS/APIS, which will enable more efficient work and cooperation of security agencies in the country, the BiH Ministry of Security stated.

Also, by establishing a new AFIS, BiH is coordinating the System with the countries of the European Union (EU), which has the ability of international data exchange and strengthening of cross-border cooperation, especially in the suppression of terrorism and cross-border crime.

Users of the AFIS system are the State Investigation and Protection Agency, the BiH Border Police, the Agency for Forensic Testing and Expertise, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, the FBiH Interior Ministry, the Brčko District Police and the ten cantonal interior ministries whose representatives today in Sarajevo signed a memorandum which establishes future cooperation.

The BiH Ministry of Security is the owner of the System and will provide support to the competent police agencies through the accommodation and maintenance of the servers.

This act fulfills the prerequisite for procurement of equipment for the AFIS system worth seven million KM from the EU IPA assistance program.

Minister of Security Dragan Mektić said that creation of a unified collection of fingerprints and palmprints will significantly increase the scope and efficiency of detecting criminal offenses in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“This is a powerful tool in the hands of the police, which will be of great help in detecting and solving criminal offenses,” Mr. Mektić said.
