(1) Whereas following the situation occurring in the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992, on 20 May 1992, the Commission adopted, Decision 92/271/EEC(5);

(2) Whereas this situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina has improved;

(3) Whereas Bosnia and Herzegovina have become a member of the International Office of Epizootics (OIE) and therefore should report all notifiable diseases;
