Bosnian Legal and Business Translation for Companies, Investors and Clubs Between Georgia and Bosnia

Registering a Georgian company with Bosnian founders, and a Bosnian one with Georgian founders

A Bosnian d.o.o. or d.d. founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its izvod iz sudskog registra from the registration court of its entity (the općinski sud in the Federation, the okružni privredni sud in Republika Srpska, or the Brčko basic court), its osnivački akt or statut, the odluka of the founders or skupština approving the Georgian entity and a punomoć if a local representative files; the extract and the notarial documents are apostilled by the competent court, and all are notarized in Tbilisi. Individual Bosnian founders submit a translated passport. We draft the Georgian charter bilingually with a parallel Bosnian column so the founder signs a text they can read, and we know the wording the National Agency of Public Registry expects for osnovni kapital, direktor and sjedište. Georgian founders of a Bosnian d.o.o. go the other way: the Georgian Public Registry extract, charter and founder's decision are apostilled, translated into Bosnian and re-certified by a sudski tumač for the registration court and the notary who draws up the osnivački akt, and the Bosnian registration then goes to the Služba for the founder's residence.

Ugovori between Bosnian and Georgian parties

Georgian law permits contracts in any language, but the Georgian version is what a registry or court reads, so cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually, usually with English as the working language and Bosnian and Georgian as the legal ones. We translate ugovori o kupoprodaji for goods, equipment and property, ugovori o zakupu, ugovori o radu for staff on either side, ugovori o isporuci and distribuciji for Bosnian furniture, metal products and food in Georgia and Georgian wine and water in Bosnia, ugovori o građenju for Bosnian contractors on Georgian sites, ugovori o djelu and o pružanju usluga, ugovori o zajmu and jemstva, ugovori o povjerljivosti and ugovori o franšizi. The translator is a legal specialist who keeps defined terms and numbering consistent and flags where a Bosnian concept - the kapara, the ugovorna kazna, the roles of direktor and nadzorni odbor under the entity company laws, which differ between the Federation and Republika Srpska - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Football and sports contracts

Player and coach transfers between Bosnian and Georgian clubs produce a specific document set: the ugovor o profesionalnom igranju or coaching contract, the transfer agreement between clubs, agent agreements, the international transfer certificate through the federations' systems, the player's birth certificate, passport and medical records, and, for foreign players in either country, the work permit and residence file. We translate these with the terminology of the FIFA regulations on the status and transfer of players and of the two federations' rules, on the compressed timelines of transfer windows, and we provide interpreters for negotiations and signings. Disputes go to the federations' arbitration bodies, to the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber or to the CAS, and we translate submissions and awards for those proceedings.

Court judgments, arbitration and enforcement

Bosnian judgments in family, commercial and succession matters - presude and rješenja of the općinski, kantonalni, osnovni and okružni courts and the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina - are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the decision, the potvrda o pravosnažnosti and supporting documents, all apostilled. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for priznanje strane sudske odluke before a Bosnian court, translated by a sudski tumač and apostilled. Arbitration under the Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina's arbitration court, the Vienna International Arbitral Centre, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions, witness statements, expert reports and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Succession files - Bosnian rješenja o nasljeđivanju and testamenti concerning Georgian property, and Georgian inheritance certificates for Bosnian ostavinski postupci - are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Tenders, trade documentation and EU-funded projects

Bosnian companies bid on Georgian state tenders in construction, wood and metal supply and engineering, and Georgian companies on Bosnian public procurement through the entity and state procurement systems; both require translated qualification documents, financial statements, references and bid texts within days of the notice, and we staff these as a team. Trade between the two countries generates commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, EUR.1 and other origin documents under the respective trade regimes, and customs correspondence, which we translate with staff who know both customs systems. EU-funded projects with Bosnian and Georgian partners - Erasmus+, cross-regional civil society and governance programs - produce partnership agreements, budgets, reports and audit documentation in both languages and English.

Financial statements, tax documents, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian subsidiaries of Bosnian companies and Bosnian subsidiaries of Georgian ones report to head office under the entity accounting laws (which follow IFRS) or Georgian standards, and investors present accounts to banks and tax authorities on both sides. We translate finansijski izvještaji, bilansi stanja and uspjeha, izvještaji o reviziji, potvrde o rezidentnosti for treaty relief where applicable, PDV documents, transfer pricing documentation and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and data processing terms aligned with Bosnia's personal data law and GDPR-style requirements for EU-funded projects. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for companies, clubs and law firms working between the two countries.
