DUBAI – The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bosnia and Herzegovina have inked an agreement enabling visa exemptions for citizens of both nations.
The move, aimed at fostering travel, trade, and cultural exchanges, is anticipated to bolster economic ties and tourism between the countries; the visa-free travel facility can be availed for tourism, business, and short-term visits.
In this regard, the memorandum of understanding was formally signed by Reem Al Hashimy, the UAE’s Minister of State for International Co-operation, and Elmedin Konakovic, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
