Bosnia and Herzegovina Has Fully Implemented Just Two Out of 25 AML Measures, Council of Europe Warns

Bosnia and Herzegovina has only fully implemented two out of 25 anti-money laundering (AML) measures recommended by the Council of Europe, the organization has warned in a new report.

The latest findings come from GRECO, the Council of Europe’s anti-corruption monitoring body, which assessed the country’s progress in following recommendations outlined in its fifth evaluation round report. GRECO, which focuses on preventing corruption and promoting integrity in governments and law enforcement agencies, highlighted the lack of progress in implementing key measures.

According to the report, “Bosnia and Herzegovina has fully implemented only two out of 25 recommendations set out in the evaluation report.” The organization further noted, “Fifteen recommendations have been partly implemented, while eight remain not implemented.”

GRECO emphasized the need for further action, stating that “further progress” is required over the next 18 months to reach an “adequate level of compliance” with its recommendations. The organization, headquartered in Strasbourg, France, has urged Bosnian authorities to take additional steps and has formally requested that they “submit additional information on the implementation of the outstanding recommendations by 31 May 2026.”
