Brkić - Londoño: Contentment over mutual abolition of visas

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, April 20 (FENA) - Deputy Foreign Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina Josip Brkić received Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Colombia Patti Londoño, the BiH Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated.

Mr. Brkić expressed the desire and willingness to improve relations between the two countries in all fields. He estimated that the concrete steps in this direction would involve a greater exchange of high-level visits and intensification of economic cooperation. He also expressed gratitude to the Government of Colombia for moving the non-resident diplomatic coverage of BiH from Berlin to closer Budapest, thus opening up opportunities for more frequent contacts and better cooperation between the two countries.

The collocutors expressed their satisfaction over the recent bilateral abolition of the visa regime for travel document holders of Colombia and BiH. They welcomed the decision of the Government of the Republic of Colombia from February to abolish the visa requirement for BiH citizens for a period of 90 days that could be extended for another 90 days following the last year's Council of Ministers' decision on introducing the visa-free regime for Colombian travel document holders.

The Colombian side thanked for this decision of the BiH Council of Ministers because it greatly facilitates the arrival of Colombian tourists, most of whom are pilgrims to Medjugorje.

As areas in which the two countries have the potential for future cooperation, the collocutors named education, science, culture, tourism and university cooperation.
