In the Western Balkans, the diversion of stateowned small arms and light weapons (SALW), and limited control over privately held SALW, are a main source of illicit arms trafficking. The HALO Trust has contributed to improving the control of SALW in BosniaHerzegovina (BiH) since 2017, when HALO started a marking and registration project.
The preparation, especially the design of the registration database and the procedures of selecting, cleaning, transporting, securing and handling weapons, proved to be more demanding than the marking procedure itself. This report gives feedback to HALO’s donors and implementing partners; thereby contributing to a broader overarching understanding of the strategic, policy and operational requirements to tackle the illicit spread of SALW in the Western Balkans.
