Bosnia and Herzegovina refugee and returnee support

Overview

The Commission for Refugees and Displaced Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina has approved 4,155,000 KM for 2026 to support returnees and displaced persons under the rights established by Annex VII of the Dayton Peace Agreement. This funding is intended for various projects, with applications open to cities, municipalities, and religious communities.

Despite these financial allocations, displaced populations continue to encounter severe obstacles to sustainable living. In areas such as Gornja Brijesnica, a lack of basic infrastructure including electricity, water, and functional roads hinders resettlement. In Srebrenica, the population has seen a significant decline from pre-war levels, leaving many returnees reliant on agriculture and calling for increased state support to ensure economic survival. Amidst these challenges, some local initiatives attempt to promote multi-ethnic coexistence through cultural activities.
