Political corruption allegations in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Overview

Political figures in Bosnia and Herzegovina have exchanged various accusations regarding corruption and systemic misconduct.

In September 2026, Elvedin Okerić of the Naroda i Pravda (NIP) party accused the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) of fostering an environment that permitted crime and corruption in the Sarajevo Canton for decades. Okerić specifically alleged that car theft syndicates operated with the potential complicity or silence of the system between 1996 and 2019.

By October 2026, Milorad Dodik, leader of the SNSD, directed corruption allegations toward Elmedin Konaković. Dodik labeled Konaković a “swindler” and a “real estate trader,” alleging that Konaković used decisions regarding voting rights for Serbian citizens to facilitate property purchases for diplomatic needs. Dodik further claimed Konaković attempted to leverage the approval of military attachés from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the Netherlands for political concessions.
