Bosnia and Herzegovina is late with much thus, including the census. He should have been spent according to the plan two years ago, but it is obviously not a priority to domestic authorities. This is not surprising, because the results probably clearly painted their policies – citizens leave, and the demographic image is all worse from year to year. Estimates say that by 2050. There could be only two and a half million people in the country.
Population lists in most countries are carried out every ten years. BiH has implemented the first census after the war in 2013. years, but these results were not recognized in all parts of the country. The BiH Agency for BiH Statistics states that the initiatives for a new list exist, but without political will he will not be realized, reports N1.
“In accordance with the conclusion of the Council of Ministers, we have established a technical steps, prepared a draft law, but the starting date, as well as methodological and organizational frameworks are not yet defined, which is not finalized,” said Lejla Aganović from the BiH Agency for BiH.
If the list soon is implemented, the results could be devastating. The agency’s assessments show that the number of births in 2024. years lower by 1.36% compared to the year earlier, while the number of deaths increased by 3.37%. That Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized by poor population dynamics, confirms the profession.
“What we can definitely say is that in my demographic development returned to the 60s of the last century, and today, unfortunately, we have a lot of the rural areas in cities, and then from cities, due to economic and social problems and the consequence of the war,” said Draško Marinkovic, Professor at the University of Banja Luka.
At the increasingly intensive departure of the population, especially from Eastern and Western Herzegovina, more than a decade warn from the Union for the sustainable return and the integration of BiH. State institutions, however, still do not have a concrete answer.
“We know that in this moment, in this moment, more than 600,000 citizens have left you that these people do not have to warn them with their rights.
It was warned during the session of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska on the worrying figures. PDP MP, Tanja Vukomanović, presented concrete data on the bad demographic picture, but the response of the RS Prime Minister caused additional indignation.
“I’m sorry that I was that I was a victim, but a lot worse that the first man of the Government of the RS has a answer: ‘Raja izmo oslove, you have people who don’t have the conditions, and you have those who just don’t want,” Vukomanović said.
In addition to the lack of political will, worrying and absence of political knowledge. Without a demographic recovery, pensioning, health, and and fiscal systems of BiH are endangered.
