In light of significant threats to the civic space in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the reintroduced criminalization of defamation and the draft “foreign agents’ law”, BCSDN and CPCD are organizing a hybrid event in Sarajevo. The gathering will bring together affected CSOs and relevant stakeholders for a comprehensive discussion on identifying potential threats and formulating effective strategies for protecting civic space in BiH. Participants will discuss recent events and explore ways to mitigate the challenges and protect the fundamental freedoms vital to a protected civil society. We will also analyze how this negative trend could have a domino effect, potentially closing civic spaces in other countries across the region and encouraging nationalistic tendencies. Stay tuned, and regularly check our website and social media for more details as we unveil the event agenda, speakers, and topics of discussion.
