Amendment to Criminal Code in Bosnia and Herzegovina Bans Denial of Genocide or Glorification of War Criminals

July 29, 2021

The outgoing High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko, has used his power to impose an amendment to the country’s criminal code to ban the denial of genocide or the glorification of war criminals. I spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, about the specifics of the amendment and what it could mean for the country moving forward. We also spoke about the Platform’s to schedule more town hall meetings in an effort to engage and hear the concerns of citizens across the country, as it prepares strategies for the 2022 general elections.
