Establish the parties and settlement category

Identify why Federation foreign-exchange law applies to the actual resident and non-resident parties. The route concerns current transactions, not automatically capital contributions, loans or other capital transactions.

The Parliament’s enacted 2026 amendment changes Article 7 for setoff, assignment, debt assumption and similar settlements. The enacted record, rather than the earlier proposal, supplies the known conditions described here.

What the enacted provision requires

The provision calls for a written agreement under obligations law with party identities, the bases of claims and debts, debtor/creditor information, currency and amounts. For a support receivable and an equipment debt, establish who owes what to whom and reconcile the underlying contracts and invoices; matching totals alone do not establish eligibility.

The amendment restricts the route for a resident whose accounts are blocked for compulsory collection unless another law provides otherwise. Check the actual account-block facts and that qualification.

The announcement does not complete the procedure

On 11 November 2026 the government announced new implementing measures for settlement and overseas accounts and decisions ending older implementation. The newly gazetted operative wording and commencement were not retrieved. The announcement alone is not evidence of immediate application or authority to execute this settlement.

Scope

  • Republika Srpska and Brčko remain unresearched. Actual party/claim eligibility, operative implementation, tax and accounting consequences are not determined; no executable settlement is supplied.

Next step

Confirm the new operative regulation and commencement before relying on the Federation netting route.
