Acting Director of the Republic of Srpska Inspectorate Miodrag Mišić with associates held a work meeting today attended by Velibor Peulić, the main coordinator of Consortium „Logistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina” and Stevo Savić, Chief of Staff of the Republic of Srpska Minister of Transport and Communications. The recent activities that aim to support entrepreneurs in transport sector which Inspectorate undertook under the request from Consortium were analysed at the meeting.

The Republic of Srpska Inspectorate fully realized the responsibilities which it has taken, after signing the Cooperation and mandatory application measures Agreement in September of 2025, which solidified measures of establishing common operating procedures of inspection services and the Customs, functioning to increase the movement of goods, to decrease delays and to insure synchronization at customs terminals.

With that in mind, Dragan Mataruga, the Chief Republic Agricultural Inspector highlighted that the working hours of the Republic of Srpska inspection services and customs are completely in sync, and that the working hours of inspectors at the busiest border crossings are from 8:00AM to 8:00PM from Monday to Saturday since the first of October 2025. He emphasized that this has significantly contributed to decrease in time which transporters spend waiting for border crossing procedures to be done, which include inspection of deliveries. Every delivery that comes during the working hours of inspection service will be finished on the same day, and special attention is given to perishables and delicate goods.

Acting Director of Republic of Srpska Inspectorate Miodrag Mišić has stated that this institution is ready to make additional effort if there is space for further promotion when it comes to jurisdiction of inspection authorities. The Inspectorate so far has been in full support of domestic transporters, who have been working in extremely difficult conditions. He highlighted that consensus on working hours has been in an effect for half a year and that flow of goods functions without any delay or difficulties when it comes to the jurisdiction of the Republic of Srpska inspection services. During the observed period the Republic of Srpska inspection services have inspected over 66,000 imported deliveries, and there were no complaints about the work of agents of the Inspectorate.

Velibor Peulić, the main coordinator of Consortium „Logistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina “has expressed satisfaction because of the accomplished progress, which is the result of understanding and cooperation between the Inspectorate and the Consortium. After the measures were taken by the Inspectorate, the flow of the goods was accelerated by 24 hours, which significantly facilitates work and planning of the work of businesses. Peulić added that the Consortium is satisfied by Inspectorate’s performance, which is the first one to do what is asked of them, and by the readiness and speed of accomplishing the agreed upon goals. Taking into the account all of the regional, as well as the global difficulties which befall on the transport sector, faster flow of the goods is in everybody’s interest, including that of state, economy and citizens. With that in mind, he highlighted that it is necessary for other inspection services at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to perform the obligations they have taken so that the flow of goods could be accelerated, delays decreased and higher efficiency secured.  

It was concluded on the meeting that the Inspectorate takes numerous organizational and logistical measures every day as part of its jurisdiction to quicken control procedures and to decrease waiting time at the border crossings.
