The Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina has adopted a Bill on Amendments to the Law on Communications, with the aim of introducing a single European emergency number (112) in all of BiH.
The Council of Ministers said that BiH in this way is harmonizing its legislation with EU legislation in this field and fulfills the earlier recommendation of the European Commission.
“With the addition of the bill, it is defined that the operator of telecommunications is obliged to enable all users free call services, SMS messages to a unique European emergency number 112 and e-calls, as well as calls to other hotlines for access to emergency services in BiH. It will be free of charge from any phone, including all public telephone booths and e-call devices,” it was announced from the Council of Ministers.
The Ministry of Communications and Traffic, it was announced, will submit this proposal to the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH for consideration in the shortened procedure.
