2. Focus on What is the current status of AQ monitoring and reporting?
Institutional arrangements: which organizations responsible for monitoring, data collection/ quality assurance/quality control, reporting and assessment?
Monitoring data quality procedures, data handling, (un)sufficiency of the spatial coverage of the country, countrywide AQ assessment: identification of problems
Dataflows and reporting - national and international: identification of problems
What options are there for improving monitoring, spatial coverage, data quality, dataflows and assessment?
How can EEA/ ETC/ACM help?

20. Institutional arrangements: which organizations responsible for monitoring, data collection/ quality assurance/quality control, reporting and assessment?
In accordance with the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) from 1995, the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is administratively divided into two parts, i.e. the two entities: the Republic of Srpska (RS) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH)
In accordance with DPA, each Entity is responsible for the protection, preservation and promotion of the environment; therefore, the two Entities’ laws, which cover different environmental issues, including air quality protection, are in force.
In Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H), Federal Ministry of Environment and Tourism
In Republic of Srpska authorized are Ministries of Physical Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology
7/14/2019

21. The following set of laws on the entity level has been created and passed in the field of environment protection:
Law on Environment Protection, Law on Air Protection, Law on Nature Protection, Law on Waste, Law on Water Protection, and Law on Environment Funds.
7/14/2019

22. STATE LEVEL
As defined by the Law on Ministries, the relevant authority at the State level remains within the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations (MOFTER).
7/14/2019

23. Institutional and procedural arrangements
The strategic goals of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a full membership to European Union, therefore both Entities have recognized European and world legislative standards as a basis for developing national environmental legislation.

24. RESPONSIBILITY FOR AIR QUALITY NETWORK
IN FEDERATION BiH - FEDERAL METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE
IN REBUBLIKA SRPSKA -HIDROMETEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE
NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR AIR QUALITU NETWORK ON STATE LEVEL
7/14/2019

25. IDENTIFICATION OF PROBLEMS
No strategic plan for monitoring network for ambient air in BiH
No adequate QA/QC control on AQ stations
Lack of knowledge about importance of QA/QC control
Lack of knowledge within relevant authorities about strategic planing and AQ management
Funding sources for National Reference Laboratory
Funding sources for expanding of monitoring network
7/14/2019

26. The gaps with regard to the EU directives
Significant spatial gaps in monitoring
zones with no measurements.
Air Quality assessment over the whole area.
More QA/QC control
Public avarenes about AQ
Limit values and target values
AQ management
7/14/2019

27. CONCLUSION Lack of knowledge, other polutants Lack of QA/QC
More resources needed for research
Critical institutional funding problems
Lack of extensive experience, training needed
No acredited laboratories EN/ISO 17025
