- Genocide-denial laws apply in the Federation but enforcement in RS is inconsistent, and political speech around 1992-95 conflict is sensitive.
- Border crossings with Croatia / Serbia / Montenegro generally work fine but can be slow during summer.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Federation and Republika Srpska have separate police, courts, and partial criminal-code differences — applicable rules vary by entity.
- Mine-affected areas are still mapped — stay on paved roads and marked trails in rural zones, especially around former front lines.
