The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elmedin Konaković, and the Minister of State for International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates, Reem Al Hashimi, signed an agreement on the abolition of visas.
“This historic event paves the way for improved mutual understanding, development of tourism, cultural exchange and economic cooperation between our countries. We look forward to a future filled with mutual prosperity and friendship,” it is stated on the X platform of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The agreement enters into force 30 days after signing.
Last summer, the United Arab Emirates made a decision to abolish visas for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then it was said that the agreement still needed to be ratified by the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Council of Ministers, Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina).
The abolition of visas also means a reduction in the cost of traveling to the Emirates, given that the fee for a visa to enter the country is 400 AED, which, according to the current exchange rate, is about 100 euros.
