At an emergency session in Sarajevo on Thursday, the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) made a decision to stop issuing licenses for export of arms and military equipment from BiH, after receiving warnings that the weapons have been exported contrary to UN resolutions and international regulations.

The decision to ban exports of arms and military equipment from BiH was made based on a warning by the BiH Intelligence and Security Agency and information from diplomatic sources about the existence of indicators pointing to the export of arms from BiH contrary to UN resolutions and other international regulations.

The decision of the BiH Presidency orders the country's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations to immediately stop issuing licenses to export arms and military equipment from the country.

The Council of Ministers is obliged to implement this decision, which shall enter into force upon its adoption.
