3. 20. In communications dated 22 February 2013 and 9 January 2014, the Government stated that it had taken concrete measures to amend existing legislation, including the Law on Associations and Foundations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so as to ensure an easy and efficient registration procedure, with reasonable time limits and full autonomy for those associations and foundations. The Government indicated that the SSSBiH was registered with the Ministry of Justice on 8 May 2012.
