Under the theme \u201cBosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s EU Path: A Year of Missed Opportunities\u201d, the Alternative Report on Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Progress towards EU Membership 2025-2026 provides a civil society assessment of the country\u2019s EU integration process, with a particular focus on the rule of law, the fight against corruption, the functioning of institutions, human rights and media freedom. Bosnia and Herzegovina has made no significant progress in any of the 19 areas analysed. Ten areas saw backsliding, seven recorded limited progress, and two remained unchanged.<\/p>\n

It highlights the lack of substantive reforms, insufficient political accountability and the continued weakening of institutions. Despite the decision to open accession negotiations, Bosnia and Herzegovina has failed to establish functional negotiating structures or ensure the sustained implementation of key reforms.<\/p>\n

The report identifies key challenges and offers concrete recommendations for overcoming political and institutional blockades, advancing reforms and ensuring effective protection of citizens\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

This publication is the result of the joint work of civil society organisations, members of the Initiative for Monitoring the EU Integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina, alongside external contributors.<\/p>\n
