The meeting was organized within the framework of regular cooperation and coordination of activities with a special emphasis on the implementation of Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/373 of March 1st 2017 on establishing common requirements for air traffic management service providers / air navigation service providers and other network functions for air traffic management and for their supervision. Satisfaction has been expressed due to holding a workshop for airspace users, which was organized in cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Traffic Management Committee in Sarajevo, on March 26th 2022. The workshop discussed among other things, activities to improve the state of flight safety in the field of general and sports aviation in BiH and the use of drones.

A new "Procedure for changing the organization and structure of the airspace in FIR Sarajevo" has been published in the „Official Gazette of BiH“ no. 78/22. This procedure regulates the manner and procedure for changing the organization and structure of the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Flight Information Region (FIR) Sarajevo. Significant progress has been achieved in the management of data on terrain and obstacles in cooperation with the competent Ministry of Communications and Transport of BiH, considering that data on obstacles higher than 100 m have been published for the first time in the Aeronautical Information Publication of BiH. 

It was pointed out at the meeting that the current Law on Aviation of BiH and the Law on Bosnia and Herzegovina Air Navigation Services Agency were adopted in 2009, and that it is necessary to prepare a new legal framework for aviation in order for BiH to be fully harmonized with EU regulations in the field of aviation, and BHANSA and BHDCA will give its full contribution in this.

It was agreed to continue with the practice of holding coordination meetings between BHANSA and BHDCA, which is important for continued successful execution of the legally prescribed competences of BHDCA and BHANSA in the field of air navigation.
