Sarajevo International Airport Raises the Bar on Security and Achieves Record Results

In May this year, Sarajevo International Airport took over counter-diversion screening duties from the Border Police of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and since then more than 500,000 pieces of hand luggage have been screened, with 75,000 requiring additional checks. The airport emphasizes that during this period no incident was recorded that could endanger the safety of passengers, staff, or flights. This demonstrates that Sarajevo proves security is not a matter of status, but of principles and systems, comparable to standards at airports across the European Union.

From the beginning of the year until the end of August, more than 450,000 checked bags were processed through the Baggage Handling System, with 40,000 referred for manual inspection. All potential incidents, such as abandoned luggage or false threat reports, were declared harmless after emergency procedures. The airport maintains established crisis management plans and readiness of responsible services to minimize risks and prevent escalation.

When it comes to cargo, prohibited shipments or smuggling attempts are rare, as shippers, through freight forwarders, are usually well-informed in advance about aviation transport regulations. The spectrum of imported goods is diverse, most commonly including telecommunications and IT equipment, pharmaceutical products, and industrial spare parts. The airport is equipped with modern security technology—from walk-through metal detectors and facial scanners to advanced X-ray machines for baggage and cargo inspections. Despite the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina is not an EU member state, no European or global airport has raised any objections regarding the quality of security screenings conducted in Sarajevo.

According to Sarajevo International Airport, security also relies heavily on human resources—well-trained teams that carry out demanding physical protection measures across the entire complex. “Their weapons are discipline, vigilance, and knowledge,” the management emphasized, adding that they closely follow global trends and continuously invest in the modernization of security equipment.

Euralarm Webinar: Fire Safety in EV Parking Garages

Euralarm will organize a webinar on Fire safety in EV parking garages on October 14, 2025.

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has brought both environmental benefits and new safety challenges. The nature of EV construction is to protect the battery cells from weather, surface water spray, and damage in normal use, and this presents a challenge in delivering extinguishant to the cells. Therefore, it is extremely challenging, if not impossible, to stop in-cell thermal runaway inside the traction battery or slowing cell to cell propagation.

Euralarm’s latest guidance unpacks the fire risk disparity between EVs and ICE vehicles, the unique dangers of thermal battery events, and the critical steps needed to mitigate them effectively.

The scope of this webinar, presented by Euralarm’s Vice Chair of the Extinguishing Section, Gerd Hülsen, is to provide factual information on the fire risk of electrical vehicles in parking facilities in comparison with other types of vehicles and to guide through solutions that can be applied. We will discuss fire behaviors and safety measures associated with both electric and combustion vehicles.

This webinar is especially interesting for:

  • Fire safety professionals
  • Parking facility operators and managers
  • Facility managers for commercial, residential, and public buildings
  • Policymakers and regulators at municipal, national, and EU level
  • Technology & innovation experts
  • Installers and system integrators
