The Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Border Police is recording an increasing number of Russian citizens arriving at the Sarajevo airport, and the Ministry of Security of BiH reacted to this.
As stated in the official announcement, the BiH Ministry of Security has information that there is currently a group of about 50 Russian citizens in BiH, mostly from Chechnya.
These persons entered our country legally on the basis of the visa-free regime and can stay for up to 30 days.
”Most of these people are located near the Maljevac border crossing and want to continue their journey to the European Union (EU) because according to their own statements they want to avoid mobilization in their country. The Ministry of Security of BiH together with the Border Police of BiH and the Service for Affairs with Foreigners of BiH will take all measures within their legal competencies and continue to monitor the situation on the ground,” it is stated in the ministry’s announcement.
The Ministry of Security of BiH will ask the competent security agencies for a detailed analysis of the current situation, after which they will prepare a proposal for measures aimed at preserving the security situation in our country.
