Describe the important developments relating to the Bologna Process, including legislative reforms, since Bergen. Over the past two years in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), some significant shifts have been recorded in the implementation of the Bologna Process. The biggest credit for this goes primarily to the public universities in BiH and the international community (first of all the Council of Europe, the European Commission in BiH and the Austrian Development Agency). As of this year, at all public universities in BiH, the implementation of the first cycle has started in compliance with the Bologna principles. The curricula have been reformed and adjusted to the two-cycle system of study; two models have been most often used: 3+2 and 4+1, depending on the university or the study group. Some faculties and universities had started the implementation of the first cycle as early as in the 2003/04 academic year, and next year we will be expecting the first generation of students bearing the title of Bachelor of Science.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina: Attitudes on Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence
    Bosnia and Herzegovina: Attitudes on Violent Extremism and Foreign Influence January 4 - February 3, 2017 Detailed Methodology • The survey was conducted by Ipsos in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights and Survey Research, and was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy. • Data was collected between January 4 and February 3, 2017 through face-to-face interviews at the respondents’ homes using the CAPI method (computer assisted personal interviewing). • A total of 1,537 interviews were completed, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent at the midrange of the 95 percent confidence level. A nationally-representative sample was assembled based on a multistage stratification proportionate to population sample distribution, through the random selection of households and respondents. • The sample is composed of citizens of BiH, aged 18 and older and was based on the 2013 Census; Vital Statistics 2012 and Ipsos estimations derived from the Central Election Commission database; Agency for Identification Documents; and the Registers and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina database. • The sampling frame consisted of polling station territories (approximate size of census units) within strata defined by municipalities and type of settlements (urban and rural). Polling station territories enable the most reliable sample selection, due to the fact that these units represent the most comprehensive and up-to-date data available. • Households were selected according to the random route technique. Starting from a given address, interviewers selected the third house down the same side of the street or the next available house for an interview from the starting point.

Through its work, the Centre contributes to improving national and international capacities to protect and assist the millions of people around the globe who have been displaced within their own country as a result of conflicts or human rights violations. At the request of the United Nations, the Geneva-based Centre runs an online database providing comprehensive information and analysis on internal displacement in some 50 countries. Based on its monitoring and data collection activities, the Centre advocates for durable solutions to the plight of the internally displaced in line with international standards.
