Bosnia and Herzegovina joins reopening countries
Bosnia and Herzegovina is another country that resumed its embassy in war-torn Libya, as a series of countries have recently done when Tripoli took a path towards peace and stability through a UN-led process.
Bosnia and Herzegovina opened its embassy on Monday, the Libyan embassy in Sarajevo said in a statement. Visa services have resumed at the Bosnian Herzegovina embassy in Libya, the announcement added.
The latest step will contribute to the common interests and cooperation between the two countries, especially in the areas of tourism and trade, it says.
Many foreign missions, which had been closed for several years due to the conflict and political crises in the country, began operating again after Libya’s new caretaker government swore in last month.
The election through a UN-led process, Libya’s new unity government, the Government of National Unity (GNU), swore on March 15. It stems from two rival political groups that ruled the country’s eastern and western regions and completed a smooth transition after a decade of violent chaos. The new government will lead Libya to the December 24 elections.
