Commenting on statements by Yossef Bodansky, who was presented as a US expert on war on terrorism and quoted by the official bulletin of the Bosnian Serb entity as saying that some groups connected with Al Qaida were active in Bosnia, Ivanic told a news conference in Sarajevo on Tuesday that the country's authorities treated seriously and checked any information on possible terrorist threats.
Bodansky also claimed that there were camps in Bosnia for the training of Islamic terrorists, who left for Iraq after the training. The American also claimed that a large number of FBI investigators were searching for those suspects and their camps.
"The Foreign Ministry of Bosnia-Herzegovina has no information on FBI agents being here," Ivanic said.
The Bosnian minister went on to say that lack of cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal continued to be the biggest security problem for his country, followed by claims on the presence of persons involved in various terrorists activities.
The spokesman for the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR), Mark Hope, was quoted by local media as saying that there was no solid evidence on terrorist activities in Bosnia.
