Social and political developments in the Balkans

Overview

Developments across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro involve various social, economic, and political issues.

In Croatia, affordable housing remains a point of contention. In Split, Mayor Tomislav Šuta presented new affordable housing projects for young families in Ravne Njive, Mejaši, and Kamen, though local officials have criticized the administration regarding transparency in municipal contracts and potential increases in communal fees. In Bjelovar, the city is transitioning to morning-only school schedules and has received environmental clearance for infrastructure development in the planned Sjever 2 residential district. In Labin, funding continues for educational assistants for students with developmental difficulties, while political tensions persist in Križevci regarding the city’s potential separation from the Koprivnica-Križevci County. Waste management protests also continue in Zadar.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, social support programs are expanding. In Nikšić, a new support program for parents of children with developmental difficulties has been launched. In Republika Srpska, Bijeljina has introduced heat pump subsidies, while the Child Protection Fund continues issuing temporary child support to single parents. In Mostar, Mayor Mario Kordić has addressed management disputes within the public utility company Komunalno.

In Serbia, the Ministry of Education announced plans to improve the educational system, including salary increases for teachers and permanent employment for nearly 4,000 workers. Political discussions regarding presidential pardons persist, alongside employment fairs in Apatin and Belgrade focusing on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. In Montenegro, social support discussions continue regarding caregivers.
