Key Developments
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was not able to complete clearance of cluster munition remnants (CMR) by 1 September 2022, due to the discovery of five previously unknown cluster munition-contaminated areas during 2022. BiH was granted a second, hopefully final, one-year extension to its deadline and at the time of writing was on track to complete clearance in time.
Recommendations for Action
- The Bosnia and Herzegovina Mine Action Centre (BHMAC) should ensure it completes clearance of the remaining CMR-contaminated area without delay and well in advance of BiH’s requested extended clearance deadline of 1 September 2023.
- BHMAC should provide details of its plans for addressing the discovery of any previously unknown CMR following completion.
