EU border agency gets new powers to operate in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina have agreed to let the EU's border control agency conduct operations within Bosnia. This means the EU will have a more direct role in managing Bosnia's borders.

This agreement expands the operational reach of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency. It allows EU officials to work directly on the ground in Bosnia, a country that lies on a major migration route into the EU. This signals a deepening of security cooperation and a more hands-on approach to managing external borders.
