The European Commission has opened negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and five other countries of the Western Balkans on accessing the “Roaming Like at Home” system. Its introduction would enable citizens, during their stay in the European Union, to make phone calls, send messages, and use mobile data without additional roaming charges.
The European Commission announced that it will call on the Council of the European Union to expand this system’s adoption to the Western Balkan countries upon the fulfillment of the two conditions: the conclusion of appropriate agreements and the full alignment of domestic regulations with EU rules.
The agreements will be linked to the existing stabilization and accession agreements.
When additional roaming charges could be abolished will depend solely on domestic authorities, or on how fast they will align the regulations with the EU rules.
