Strengthening the ability of institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to investigate and prosecute money laundering and terrorist financing was the focus of a workshop held in Tarčin on 27–28 April 2026.

The workshop brought together representatives of financial intelligence unit, law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to strengthen practical skills in conducting financial investigations, applying risk-based approaches and using financial intelligence more effectively in criminal cases.

Particular attention was given to improving co-operation between institutions and strengthening the use of different sources and indicators for initiating investigations, in line with recommendations identified in the MONEYVAL's 5th Mutual Evaluation Report.

Through practical exercises and discussions based on real-life scenarios, participants worked through different stages of investigation and prosecution procedures involving money laundering and terrorist financing cases.

Participants especially highlighted the value of the practical part of the workshop, which helped strengthen understanding of how financial intelligence can be translated into actionable evidence and used more effectively in complex investigations and prosecutions.

The workshop was held as part of the Council of Europe’s Action against corruption and economic crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina, implemented under the Council of Europe’s Action Plan for Bosnia and Herzegovina 2026-2029 and funded through voluntary contributions.
