This is another important step towards enhanced cooperation with EUROPOL and EU Member States when it comes to fight against serious crime, including terrorism. Information and intelligence sharing and enhanced cooperation represent indispensable element in fighting all forms of crimes. Exchange of operational data, which would be enabled through this Agreement, will significantly step up the cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Only by fighting crime jointly and more effectively can we increase the safety and security of citizens.
Following completion of internal procedures at EUROPOL, we encourage relevant institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina to continue with necessary procedures which would allow the signature of the agreement as soon as possible.
