Bosnia, Frontex start negotiations for cooperation agreement

Nenad Nesic, Bosnia's security minister, and Oliver Onidi, deputy director general of the directorate general migration and home affairs at the European Commission, together with other representatives of Bosnia's government held a meeting which marked the launch of talks for the cooperation agreement, Bosnia's security ministry said in a social media post on Monday, without revealing further details.

Frontex is an agency of the European Union headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, tasked with border control of the European Schengen Area, in coordination with the border and coast guards of Schengen Area member states.

In December 2022, the Council awarded EU candidate country status to Bosnia, which had submitted its application for EU membership in February 2016.
