equipment will greatly contribute to the more effective protection of the state
border.
Ambassador
Webber announced that the Government of Germany will be a partner of GPBiH and support its
further development in the following period. Many activities have so far
been implemented with the support of the Government of Germany with the aim of
operational strengthening of the agency, and thus increasing both general and border
security in the border zone and at the airports in BiH.
Director

surveillance, which will also contribute to the fight against illegal
migration.
