SARAJEVO, 13 January 2026 - The OSCE Mission to BiH (Mission) strongly condemns incidents that occurred on 9 January 2026, including the glorification of convicted war criminals and the desecration of the insignia of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to potentially constituting criminal offenses, such actions are deeply offensive to the victims of past atrocities, undermine reconciliation and contravene the fundamental values of peace, justice and respect upon which a democratic society must stand. 

SARAJEVO, 25 December 2025 - The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (Mission) acknowledges the efforts by the Central Election Commission (CEC) to uphold the integrity of the electoral process, including its decision to annul results of early elections in 135 polling stations in Republika Srpska (RS) and one in Brčko District of BiH. 

The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina urges all public authorities to maintain professional, transparent and non-discriminatory relations with the media, to guarantee equal access to information and public events, and to refrain from any statements or actions that could be perceived as pressure on journalists or interference with their work.
