SARAJEVO, July 9 (FENA) - As of today, Bosnia and Herzegovina is not officially on the EU list of high-risk third countries which have strategic deficiencies in the regime of preventing money laundering and combating terrorist financing, which pose a significant threat to the Union's financial system.
Commission Delegated Regulation of 7 May 2020 entered into force, revising the list of high-risk third countries. The revised list is more in line with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) list, the BiH Ministry of Justice said.
The European Commission recognized the progress and measures taken in this area that BiH has made in the past period, and concluded that at this stage, according to available information, Bosnia and Herzegovina has no strategic deficiencies in the regime of preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. The Commission will continue to monitor the effective implementation of such measures.
It is important to emphasize that, together with the EU, the Ministry of Justice of BiH established an e-register through the project “Capacity Building of Government Institutions to Engage in Policy Dialogue with Civil Society in BiH” (CBGI), and all this ultimately contributed to meeting the conditions for deleting BiH from the FATF gray list of risky countries, as well as from the EU list today.
