The Draft Law on Amendments and Addenda to the Law on Prohibition of Discrimination proposes a provision which introduces internal procedures of protection as one of the mechanism for protection from discrimination.

Policy brief “Development in E-procurement system in Bosnia and Herzegovina” summarizes report “Analysis of the E-procurement system in Bosnia and Herzegovina” written by author Ivan Kutleša.

Policy brief “Towards Greater Transparency of Public Procurement Contracts in Bosnia and Herzegovina” is a summary of the report “Towards a More Transparent Public Procurement System in Bosnia and Herzegovina via Publishing of Contracts: a Legal Framework Analysis”.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina there is no policy regulating proactive transparency, open data nor their use for commercial and non-commercial purpose. At the same time, public institutions collect and produce huge amount of data which could be of social and economic benefit.

Despite the poor economic environment, high poverty rates, and a large number of persons in social need, the BiH social protection system is inefficient and insufficiently developed.

The right of access to information in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not adequately protected, since the institutions in charge of overseeing the implementation of laws on freedom of information in BiH do not have strong control mechanisms or the resources to carry out supervision in this area.

This is one of conclusions of policy brief "The right of access to information in BiH: Towards effective institutional design", which analyzes how monitoring and enforcement of laws on freedom of information in BiH has been solved institutionally, as well as weak points of the current system.

This policy brief offers insight into the main obstacles to transparency in public procurement, especially in the light of international standards and comparative practice, primarily focusing on the existing legal and institutional solutions in this area.

Results of research on local communities (mjesne zajednice - LCs) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), presented in this policy brief, suggest that participation in a variety of local issues are of direct relevance to the needs of the community. The research also points to the different possible roles that LCs could perform depending on the needs of the community.

Despite the increase in the number of Internet users in Bosnia and Herzegovina, policies and practices of web presence of public institutions in this country only partially correspond to international standards and trends, what, ultimately, has a negative impact on the overall transparency and openness of public institutions.  

Fight against discrimination and mobbing has resulted in the adoption of specific legislation in almost all European countries in recent decades. However, the complex problem of mobbing is insufficiently regulated in BiH legislation, not only because of theoretically unfounded regulatory approach based on complete equalisation of discrimination and harassment at work, but also because of a number of normative gaps in the current legal framework.
