The Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina is addressing several key legislative and strategic items, including the establishment of a working group to prepare a Schengen action plan and amendments to laws regarding the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing. The agenda also includes migration and asylum strategies for 2026–2030 and a potential cooperation agreement with NASA regarding the GLOBE program.

In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), recent data from the first nine months of 2026 indicates a rise in criminal offenses by 3.41 percent, public order violations by 20.35 percent, and traffic accidents by 2.98 percent.
