Exercise increased caution in Bosnia and Herzegovina due to terrorism threats, crime, and landmine risks.
Travelers should exercise increased caution when visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina due to ongoing terrorism threats, elevated crime levels, and the presence of landmines from past conflicts. Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, and public areas. Theft and crimes of opportunity are common against tourists, while violent crimes including robbery and murder occur due to widespread availability of firearms. Landmines and minefields remain present throughout the country, with several casualties reported annually. Travelers should maintain situational awareness, stay on hard-surfaced roads, avoid abandoned buildings, and monitor local media for security updates.
