A TOTAL of 345 new coronavirus cases and 11 fatalities were reported in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday.

As of Friday, the country's nationals planning to travel abroad can get tested for the virus at a lower price than has been the case so far.

The public health authorities in the Federation entity confirmed that the test would cost 140 convertible marks (approx. €70) instead of 200-215 convertible marks, as has been the case so far.
