Bosnia lifts ban on movement for minors and seniors

Minors and seniors can freely move across Bosnia and Herzegovina again as of Friday after both of the country’s semi-autonomous regions lifted the ban on their movement on Thursday, which was introduced as a response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Both of Bosnia’s semi-autonomous entities, the Federation (FBiH) and Republika Srpska (RS), had in March completely banned movement for those under the age of 18 and above the age of 65 since they are considered vulnerable categories.

The bans were part of the numerous measures Bosnian authorities introduced as the virus began spreading across the country, which also included curfews and closing all non-essential businesses and services.

The measures are now being lifted gradually, as the coronavirus situation seems to be calming down.
