A/HRC/44/42/Add.3 The BiH Ministry of Security provides the following clarification regarding paragraph 73. A Decision on amending the Decision on the Establishment of the Coordination Body for Migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been prepared in such a way that it determines that, when this body sits as the Operational Headquarters for Migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in addition to the representatives of the entity and Brcko District headquarters, it also includes representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ministry of Security of BiH, Service for Foreigners’ Affairs, comments on the statement that migrants at the Immigration Center do not have access to free legal aid in paragraph 74. During the first interview with a migrant in the broader territory of BiH, the interview is conducted in the mother tongue with the help of an interpreter or in a language that the migrant understands and he/she is informed about the rights to free legal aid. Migrants who are housed in the Immigration Center are also informed, with the assistance of an interpreter, of their rights and obligations during their stay and, inter alia, of their right to free legal aid. With regard to paragraph 76, the Republika Srpska Ministry of Internal Affairs makes an identical comment as on paragraph 62. 5
