European police could soon be sent in BiH, given that the EU and BiH agreement is finally ready, which would be the last among the countries in the region, which Brussels has founded this Agreement with the New EU Peace Policy.
The issue of migration in the EU has become the most important political issue, and numerous governments face great pressure to reduce migration flows and limit the number of illegal migrants in the EU.
As they told us in the European Commission, when this Agreement enters into force, the EU and BiH will organize joint patrols in the mixed composition.
“This means that Frontex border teams will be engaged in BiH, to allow Frontex to help BiH in the management of migration flows, preventing illegal migration and resolve cross-border crime,” they said for “independent”.
In order for Frontex to operate outside the EU, it must enter into an agreement with a third country, whose territory should be engaged, which is in this case BiH. FRONTEX is the EU’s decision 2019. He received the authority to operate outside the EU, and in 2022. The EU Council approves the European Commission to start negotiations with five countries in the region – Albania, BiH, Montenegro, Northern Macedonia and Serbia.
In order for this agreement to enter into force, the BiH and European Parliament and the European Parliament must be granted it that the EU Council has approved this Agreement on Monday. After the Border Control Law was adopted in BiH, and this obstacle has been removed.
The EU has recently adopted significant reforms in their migration and asylum politics. In May 2024. EU advice agreed on the reform of the Joint European Asylum System (CEAS), which envisages that asylum seekers will be checked and registered at the EU’s external borders in the future. People who have little appearance on protection should go there to pass through the accelerated asylum procedure and, if rejected, will be returned directly from external borders. In addition, a mandatory solidarity mechanism was introduced to distribute accountability among the Member States.
This provision will open the way to EU countries, which will be able to make agreements with their neighbors about the possible opening of the refugee accommodation, if they do not want to open camps on their territory, and neighboring countries want to offer accommodation. An example of such an agreement is an agreement between Italy and Albania, where the Italian government will pay Albania to place asylum seekers on its territory while the asylum processing procedure lasts.
The new European migration policy will cost billions of euros, and part of the money will also obtain the countries of the Western Balkans for the equipping of police forces, border crossings, the modernization of the camps and the purchase of equipment.
In the 18th of the EU, BiH and the EU initialed the agreement with Frontex, and in the BiH Ministry of Security then stressed that this Agreement strengthens the operational partnership between the Frontex and the BiH Border Police. After the establishment of full cooperation with the EU for cooperation in the implementation of the law that took place last year, this is the last step towards the harmonization of BiH with EU security requirements, writing Independent newspapers.
