After the Constitutional Court ruled that these restrictions were violating their human rights earlier this week, the FBiH Civil Protection Administration decided on Friday to allow the movement for elderly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9 am and 1 pm, while those aged under 18 will move freely on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 2 pm and 8 pm.

The other half of the country, Republika Srpska (RS) region, has kept the full movement restriction for its residents aged above 65 in effect as well as the curfew hours from 8 pm until 5 am.
