Police in Bosnia and Herzegovina have launched an operational search for a 31-year-old postal worker from Višići, near Čapljina, identified as S. J. (also referred to as Stipe Jukić). The individual was last in contact with his mother via WhatsApp on September 6, 2026.

Investigations indicate the man traveled from Mostar to Sarajevo and then flew to Turkey, with a flight itinerary suggesting Bangkok, Thailand, as his final destination. While authorities have not officially confirmed these travel claims, they remain part of the ongoing investigation into his whereabouts.

The disappearance occurred alongside reports that between 50 and 60 pensions, totaling approximately 27,000 convertible marks, were not delivered. Although there is no official confirmation that the funds were misappropriated, the situation caused significant anxiety among local retirees. 

Hrvatska pošta Mostar has conducted internal investigations and has since confirmed that the distribution of pensions in the Čapljina area has been successfully completed. The company expressed gratitude to citizens for their patience and has assured retirees that services will continue regularly.

In a notable development, the case has sparked a controversial and humorous crowdfunding campaign on the 4fund platform. The campaign, which seeks to raise 15,000 euros, aims to fund a return flight from Bangkok to Sarajevo, sunscreen, and a lawyer, reflecting a public response that blends jokes with the serious nature of the alleged theft.
