The opening of further resident diplomatic missions abroad, including in Bosnia Herzegovina, is considered by the Government on an ongoing basis. However, any expansion of our overseas network can only be undertaken on the basis of clear priorities.

The current position is that our Ambassador to Slovenia is also accredited to Bosnia Herzegovina on a non-resident basis, and there are no plans at present to change this arrangement. The services of the Irish Embassy in Slovenia are fully available to assist Irish citizens in Bosnia Herzegovina should they so require.
