After a series of unsuccessful attempts by the European Community and the European Union, which only contributed to the escalation of armed actions, the Dayton Peace Agreement ended the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and represented a successful peace solution. Although at that time it was hailed as a significant achievement, it created a complex political and administrative structure that, even after nearly thirty years, faces challenges that call into question its sustainability and the provision of long-term peace for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Dayton Agreement established a powersharing constitutional framework among Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs to prevent ethnic domination. However, it also deepened ethnic divisions and created a complex governance system composed of two entities the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska and the Brčko District. Today,Bosnia and Herzegovina faces renewed national tensions and ethnic intolerance, which are direct consequences of internal political developments and external influences and changes in the geopolitical landscape, seriously raising questions about the future and survival of the state. The rhetoric from the leadership of Republika Srpska about a “peaceful separation” from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the abandonment of the Dayton Agreement presents a serious security challenge, upon which the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina largely depends. For Bosnia and Herzegovina to survive as a state, constitutional reforms are necessary, which would mean reforms to the Dayton Agreement itself. However, these reforms must be implemented with maximum care and with international support to avoid violating the rights of the constituent peoples, which could lead to new tensions. To enable the functionality of the state and its economic progress, anti-corruption measures, economic development, and strengthening of the rule of law are also necessary.
This paper examines the current state of cyber security in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focusing on legislative frameworks, incidents of cyber attacks, and potential avenues for advancement in line with Bosnia and Herzegovina’s aspirations for European Union membership. This analysis highlights the urgent need for comprehensive cyber security legislation that aligns with the EU’s Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive. Bosnia and Herzegovina has experienced numerous cyber attacks, including ransomware incidents, phishing campaigns, and DDoS attacks. These incidents underscore significant deficiencies in protecting critical infrastructure and IT systems. Case studies reveal that government institutions, the financial sector, and educational establishments are frequent targets. A pervasive lack of awareness about cyber security among employees and the general populace further increases system vulnerabilities. In this paper, a case study of Sarajevo Canton will be conducted, with the primary goal of highlighting, through real world examples, all the deficiencies in the security system’s response to cyber attacks.
In defining the industrial security more security aspects are included which are critical for the normal functioning and development of any industrial capacity. The safety of the people who are included in the working process, is inevitably connected with the risk of injuries, illness and uncontrolled events which result with damage and material, financial and human loss. Numerous industrial hazards are hidden and unknown and they cannot be estimated and managed. That is why they represent a potential for accidents. Most of the industrial accidents are the result of accidental human mistakes caused by factors which are mainly predictable and can be prevented or managed if there exists a culture of safety, high level of safety standards and strict abidance, but also political action for improvement and prevention of recurring accidents.
Radio communication, as a traditional form of communication, has been somewhat overshadowed in today’s landscape of technological advancements and digital communication. However, in certain shapes and forms, radio communication plays a key role in civil protection services and protection and rescue units during emergencies. This paper will outline the structure of goals and objectives, as well as the organizational framework of radio communication within the local community, specifically focusing on the municipal civil protection headquarters, according to the legal regulations of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity. The paper will also examine the structure of the headquarters and the role of the emergency radio network (RMZO) and amateur radio clubs within these units. The purpose of this paper is to determine the significance of amateur radio associations during emergency situations. This research aims to emphasize the importance of effectively organizing and mobilizing both human and technical resources in response to an emergency event that requires the activation of radio communication. This subject gives rise to the central issue examined in this article methods and means for establishing an emergency communication network in the case that traditional communication systems become inoperable. This article will emphasize the organization set-up, necessary technical resources, and the various methods, types, and objectives for achieving effective communication in specific situations, highlighting the importance of this topic in contemporary practice. This topic is particularly pertinent in today’s fast paced environment, where the demands of modern life can often leads to the neglect of various responsibilities, which can contribute to increased level of insecurity that may ultimately manifest in natural disasters, the occurrence of missing persons, and general emergency events that require the use of these resources.
Strategic innovation management (SIM) is a systematic approach to managing innovation in organizations. In the defense sector, strategic innovation management can provide numerous benefits, such as increased efficiency, improved capability, and enhanced competitiveness. By using strategic innovation management, defense organizations can align their innovation efforts with their strategic objectives, prioritize resources, and ensure that new technologies and processes are effectively integrated into existing systems. Additionally, strategic innovation management can help organizations foster a culture of innovation, encourage collaboration, and mitigate risks associated with innovation. To maximize the benefits of strategic innovation management in the defense sector, it is essential that organizations establish clear processes and guidelines, regularly assess their innovation performance, andcontinuously evaluate and adjust their strategic innovation management strategies to meet evolving demands. This abstract will explore the key elements of conceptual frameworks for strategic innovation management, including their relevance to different industries and the challenges of implementing them successfully. Additionally, it will highlight some of the current trends and future directions in this field, such as the integration of the concept for Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Implementation in the Ministry of defense. Ultimately, the insight gained from these frameworks can help organization enhance their capacity for innovation, stay ahead of the competition, and achieve long term success.
