SARAJEVO, Bosnia (January 15,2008) – The Bosnian Parliament's House of Representatives is expected to agree this Wednesday to the introduction of biometric passports in Bosnia from November 1 this year. This was announced by Nenad Sepic, the Bosnian Civil Affairs Deputy Minister, who said the novelty would be part of the Passport Act amendments.
All the preparations required by November are going on according to the schedule, he said. The new passports will be introduced gradually, upon the expiry of old ones.
The price has not been determined yet, among other reasons because the printing company has not been chosen yet. Sepic hopes that some domestic company would get the contract.
Biometric passports are part of the visa system liberalization process. It has not been decided yet whether the chipped passports would contain a fingerprint or a retinal scan.
