UPDATE
Eurocontrol delays Bosnian airspace transition

Eurocontrol revokes Bosnian regulator control over the country's airspace

The Air Navigation Services Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHANSA) has said Eurocontrol has delayed the handover of its airspace above from air traffic control centres in Belgrade and Zagreb until further notice. The statement came to EX-YU Aviation News following reports the country has been revoked sovereignty over its skies. Bosnia and Herzegovina gained control of its airspace two months ago, which had previously been jointly administered by Serbia and Croatia from air traffic control centres in Belgrade and Zagreb respectively. Bosnia established BHANSA back in 2009, which took responsibility of airspace up to 32.500 feet in November last year. However, Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, says BHANSA is unable to undertake the “extremely complex work”, following meetings in December.

The Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency (SMATSA) and Croatia Control (45%) will retain control over Bosnia and Herzegovina’s upper, while "the Bosnian air traffic agency, BHANSA, will take over the terminal air traffic control to a certain level of flight operations, landing and takeoffs”, a Eurocontrol report, quoted by “Balkan Insight” says. It adds, “Most of the flight control will remain delegated to SMATSA and the Croatian air traffic control agencies". SMATSA will also collect all revenues from commercial flights over the country in its area of jurisdiction. Until 2007, Bosnian airspace was controlled by international peacekeeping forces that stayed in the country after the end of the 1992-95 war. Since then, Bosnia has had to pay Croatia and Serbia for air traffic navigation. As a result, the two countries collect fifteen million euros each year.

Eurocontrol’s decision will come as a setback to BHANSA. Seventeen air traffic controllers from Bosnia and Herzegovina have been trained in Belgrade in order to take up their positions at control centres in Sarajevo and Banja Luka. More than 23 million euros have been invested in the new air traffic control system in the country, most of which came from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Last year, the Minister for Transport and Communication of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Damir Hadžić, said, “This is a small step for the region, but a big one for Bosnia. We suffered big financial losses by using the services of our neighbours, but from now on the money will stay in our pockets. This is one of the most complex projects implemented in Bosnia”.

      BIRN is a pretty respectable source. They managed to force the Serbian government to publish the transaction agreement with Etihad and actually published the agreement a few days before the government. I doubt EUROCONTROL is going to release a statement about BHANSA since its their failure as well. They have invested quite a lot in this project. BHANSA like most institutions in BiH is an absolute mess at the moment.

    Još jednom da pojasnim na svima lako razumljivom jeziku:

    Ovo o cemu govori Balkan Insight se odnosi na produzenje ugovora BHANSA sa SMATSA o kontroli gornjeg neba, jer se vec sada zna da obuka dodatnih kontrolora nece biti dovrsena do 13. novembra 2015. godine. I to pise u originalnom clanku Balkan Insighta, ali ne bas najjasnije, tako da je ocito ili greskom Google Translate ili namjernom greskom Ex-Yu aviation bloga sve protumaceno kao da se odnosi na srednji sloj.

    I'll agree with you that this is and always was a political not technical question. I have no knowledge of the issue first hand but somehow I doubt Republika Srpska politicians would rather give money to SMATSA and Crocontrol than take it themselves. Unless some of the money was sent back through secret channels and ended up in private pockets of course. This is just my guess of course. Another explanation would be that similar to some other joint bodies there was a fight where it would be located, who controls it etc. and unless some was in BL there was no deal. Again, pure guess on my part but second scenario seems more realistic to me.

      Just the transitioning of a political body from entity to state level is a reason enough for those crazy serbs to revolt. As if we are in a state union, which we are not. Anyway it's been the same since '96, but what do you know...step by step Bosnia has overcome these issues, it can take some time, but we get what we want to at the end of the day. The same will happen with BHANSA. Cheers.

      My friend, you need to read more carefully. Bosnia-Herzegovina is by its constitution not a state union. Second of all, I don't need to have a conversation with you about the future of my own country, your opinion is as much important in Bosnia as is someones from Turkey.As already mentioned, issues have been arrising since '96, but we've managed to overcome every and each one of them, which we will continue doing. Small rats are allways present, we've had them in 1992, 1996...we have them today...but they've become so small since then, that just opening a subject related to '92 and '96 is like trying to bring back someone from the dead.
