The Bosnia and Herzegovina sanctions regime

The Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 came fully into force on 31 December 2020. They put in place sanctions measures to:

  • promote respect for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, international personality and constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • promote the peace, stability and security of Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • encourage compliance with, and the implementation of, the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina

You should also review the Sanctions (EU Exit) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 4) Regulations 2020 to find out any amendments made to the Regulations.

These regulations have replaced, with substantially the same effect, relevant existing EU legislation and related UK regulations.

Those persons who are designated under this regime are included in the UK sanctions list.
