In 2017, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina began systematically monitoring and assessing the prosecution and adjudication of corruption and organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Based on this monitoring, the Mission determined that the failure by judicial institutions to repress corruption and organized crime effectively has led to a state of de facto impunity. This remains one of the most salient and pressing issues affecting BiH, as corruption and organized crime threaten long-term stability and prosperity in BiH and the broader region.
