Description
The current visa system imposed on Bosnia and Herzegovina makes it impossible to establish a stable and open society without free movement of its people flow of information and ideas. The task ahead for government structures is to provide the opportunity for its citizens to travel abroad without restriction and to enable its society to be included in the political, economical and cultural sphere of European life. This research summarizes the insight gained through deep analysis of the situation considered a possibility for softening of the visa regime for all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina has, to date, been in the so-called Annex I, unpopular "Black List" of the Schengen Agreement which requires the possession of a visa for entering the external borders of the EU.
