History

[edit]

Following the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees began operating at the level of the newly established Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the end of the Bosnian War and the signing of the Dayton Agreement, the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of the Republika Srpska functioned before the creation of the present-day state-level ministry.

In 2000, the entity ministries responsible for human rights and refugees were merged into the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Martin Raguž becoming the first minister.[2]

Since 25 January 2023, Sevlid Hurtić has served as Minister of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3][4]
