Let us recall, in the last few years there has been increasing number of Arabian investors who built residential complexes and tourist settlements all over Bosnia and Herzegovina drawn by the low prices and favorable climate. Service for Foreigners' Affairs in cooperation with other authorities in the past conducted a review of nearly 700 companies and 16 tourist resorts owned by the citizens of the Gulf, Libya, Russia and Ukraine.

Results shown that around 500 fictive companies that are registered to false addresses in posses 600 residential and business spaces in our country. From the Service for Foreigners' Affairs pointed out that the founding capital of legal entities that were subject to control, usually amounted to 2,000 KM, and it was established that the companies are owners of real estate worth several hundred thousand marks. Therefore, it is unclear how they acquired the property for so much value and how they carried out the transaction of money.

Some of the real estate owners live illegally in the country, others are not even registered to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the third misused various work permits and they violated the conditions for issuing visas.
