The number of recorded organized criminal groups dealing with drug trafficking, human smuggling, economic crime, corruption, arms trade, computer crime, human trafficking and property crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina is growing.
This is stated in the latest assessment of the threat from organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2021, which was prepared by the Working Group for the development of a strategy for the fight against organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A decline in certain criminal activities, such as property crime, human smuggling and human trafficking, was also found.
It was established that in BiH there is a significant number of organized criminal groups that are very well networked and whose cooperation is mostly fluid. Analyzing the collected data, it was determined that a large number of organized criminal groups carry out their activities only in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On the other hand, organized criminal groups from the wider area of the Balkans and beyond also operate in BiH. They have their own branches in BiH through which they carry out numerous criminal activities.
