A new report published by the Council of Europe’s Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) notes that, beyond the adoption of the Law on Conflict of Interest and the revision of the Law on the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council, only little progress has been made in Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the prevention of corruption of parliament members, and judges and prosecutors.
The Third Interim Compliance Report assessed the measures taken by the authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina to implement the 15 recommendations outlined in the Fourth Round Evaluation Report, adopted by GRECO in December 2015 and made public in February 2016.
Thus far, only three of these fifteen recommendations have been implemented or dealt with in a satisfactory manner. Eleven recommendations have been partly implemented, and one recommendation remains unimplemented.
The Fourth evaluation round examines themes related to the prevention of corruption in respect of members of parliament, judges and prosecutors, including ethical principles and rules of conduct, conflict of interest and the enforcement of conflict-of-interest rules, prohibition or restriction of certain activities, declaration of assets, income, liabilities and interests, as well as awareness.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is invited to report on measures taken to implement the outstanding recommendations by the end of November 2025.
Read the full report below for a detailed assessment of the level of compliance with each of the GRECO recommendations in this area.
