Financial experts, the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank claim that due to the fragmented and frequently abused customs
system, Bosnia-Herzegovina loses 600 million marks worth of
revenues annually. The European Commission has made its assistance
to the country worth 65 million euros conditional on the
establishment of a single customs system.
