SARAJEVO, February 23 (FENA) - Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denis Zvizdić, said today that BiH had been delisted, or removed from the FATF’s (Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering) gray list.

“The FATF plenary session has just finished in Paris and we have received extremely important and positive news for all citizens of BiH and for businesses that operate not only within BiH, but also with foreign countries, that BiH has been delisted or removed from FATF’s "gray list", with which we have completely eliminated all the shortcomings BiH had in its system regarding the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism,” Chairman Zvizdić told FENA and FTV.

According to him, this is the result of the high quality work of the Council of Ministers, entity governments and the Brčko District of BiH, that is, numerous and very well-coordinated activities that resulted in the adoption of many laws. Mr. Zvizdić added that more than 20 laws and other acts have been adopted in the last 16 months and that, with this, the action plan agreed with FATF has been fully realized.

“I want to remind that, as the Council of Ministers appointed in 2015, we, unfortunately, found BiH on the MONEYVAL’s "gray list" and on the FATF’s "gray list". We managed to delist or remove BiH from the MONEYVAL’s "gray list" in 2016, and now, with the implementation of this action plan, we managed to delist and remove BiH from the "gray list" in terms of an adequate, successful, efficient way of fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism,” said Mr. Zvizdić.
