SARAJEVO, 1 April 2026 – Rising demand for foreign labour in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s supply chains could create fertile ground for criminal networks. These networks can exploit demand by luring potential victims of trafficking with false promises of employment and trapping them in exploitative conditions, particularly where safeguards are weak.

30 March 2026, SARAJEVO - More than 500 young people from across Bosnia and Herzegovina have successfully completed interactive workshops as part of the voter outreach campaign “First Time Voters – The Electoral System of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” jointly implemented by the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Hate crime victimization can potentially inflict greater post-victimization repercussions compared with other crimes. The potential greater impact for victims of hate crime is evidenced by a well-established body of research and recognized in hate crime policy internationally. While the greater impact is not felt by every single victim of hate crime, it is evident that on average hate crimes hurt more when the post-victimization emotional and psychological impact is measured.
