Bosnia and Herzegovina–Peru relations refers to the bilateral relations between the nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Peru. Both countries are members of the United Nations.
Before the country's independence, Peru maintained warm relations with Bosnia's predecessor state, Yugoslavia.
History
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Peru established diplomatic relations on January 23, 1998,[1] and the Peruvian embassy in Belgrade thus became accredited to the country. After the embassy closed in 2006, the embassy in Bucharest became accredited instead. The Bosnian embassy in Washington, D.C. is accredited to Peru.[2]
The Bosnian government has repeatedly supported Peru's candidacies to councils of the United Nations, such as those of the International Maritime Organization, UNESCO and the Committee on Enforced Disappearances, as well as the International Law Commission.[3]
In 2021, Peru established a traveling consulate in Sarajevo.[4]
Both countries are affected by organised crime groups, such as the Serbian America group, which operates in the Balkans and has led to at least one arrest in northern Peru involving Interpol.[5]

Trade
Commerce between both countries was negatively affected by the closure of the Peruvian embassy in Belgrade.[6] In 2005, Peruvian exports were valued at US$ 400,000 and at US$ 2 million in 2006. In 2007, this number dropped to zero, as Peru did not export any goods on that year, as well as in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2016. In contrast, Bosnian exports—mainly lubricant and carburator filters and shoewear—steadily increased until 2016, being valued at over US$ 700,000.[7]
Bosnian investment in South America is low, with Peru ranking fourth in exports in 2016. Bosnia and Herzegovina exports vinyl chloride polymers, rubber shoewear, centrifuges, and other home products.[8] Peru contributes 1% of imports to the Balkan country, importing bone meal (43% of total imports), seeds (18.7%), legumes (10%), bananas (5.3%), mollusks (5.2%), etc.[9]
