SARAJEVO, 22 January 2026 - The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina strongly condemns the physical attack against the BN TV crew in Bijeljina.

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.
