Professional firefighters in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) initiated a movement to improve their pension and disability insurance rights. In August 2026, firefighters submitted an initiative with over 800 signatures to the Federal Civil Protection Administration, seeking amendments to the Law on Fire Protection and Firefighting. The group requested pension parity with police officers, arguing that such changes would recognize the “difficult and dangerous work” they perform and would place a relatively small burden on the FBiH budget. By September 2026, following a severe fire season and intense firefighting efforts in regions like Konjic, a draft law was proposed to address these concerns. The proposed legislation aims to regulate insurance rights to better reflect the specific risks of the profession, particularly as approximately 10% of the Federation’s 900 professional firefighters are expected to retire in the coming year. Discussions regarding this new law to improve the status and pension rights of professional firefighters continue to progress within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
