U okviru projekta “PRAVA – Protecting Rights through Awareness and Accountability”, naš tim je tokom proteklog perioda realizovao terenske informativne aktivnosti u šest gradova Bosne i Hercegovine: Zenica, Tuzla, Mostar, Sarajevo, Banja Luka i Bihać.
Cilj kampanje bio je unaprijediti nivo informisanosti građana i građanki o policijskim ovlastima u Bosni i Hercegovini, kao i o dostupnim mehanizmima zaštite prava u slučajevima eventualnog prekoračenja ili zloupotrebe ovlasti od strane policijskih službenika. Tokom aktivnosti distribuirani su informativni letci sa jasno naznačenim nadležnostima policijskih organa te kontakt informacijama i adresama odbora za žalbe građana.
Posebno je značajno istaći da su građani u svim posjećenim gradovima pokazali izraženo interesovanje za ovu temu. Brojni su iskoristili priliku da postave pitanja, zatraže dodatna pojašnjenja o svojim pravima i procedurama podnošenja žalbi, te podijele vlastita iskustva i nedoumice. Ovakva interakcija potvrđuje potrebu za kontinuiranim informisanjem javnosti i jačanjem pravne pismenosti u oblasti policijskih ovlasti i građanskih prava.
Podsjećamo, projekat “PRAVA – Protecting Rights and Awareness through Accountability” nastoji pomoći u razvoju boljih odnosa između policijskih službenika i zajednica i kojima služe, što je temelj povjerenja građana u policijske agencije te bitan uslov za uspješan odgovor na savremene sigurnosne izazove.

PRAVA – Protecting Rights through Awareness and Accountability: CSS conducted informative campaign in 6 cities in BiH!
As part of the project “PRAVA – Protecting Rights through Awareness and Accountability”, our team recently conducted field-based informational activities in six cities across Bosnia and Herzegovina: Zenica, Tuzla, Mostar, Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Bihać.
The aim of the campaign was to enhance citizens’ understanding of police powers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the available mechanisms for protecting their rights in cases of potential abuse or overreach by police officers. During these activities, informational leaflets were distributed, clearly outlining the responsibilities of police authorities, along with contact information and addresses of citizen complaint boards.
It is particularly noteworthy that citizens in all visited cities showed significant interest in this topic. Many took the opportunity to ask questions, seek additional clarification about their rights and complaint procedures, and share their own experiences and concerns. Such engagement underscores the ongoing need to inform the public and strengthen legal literacy regarding police powers and citizens’ rights.
We would like to remind that the “PRAVA – Protecting Rights and Awareness through Accountability” project aims to support the development of better relationships between police officers and the communities they serve, which is the foundation of citizens’ trust in police agencies and a crucial condition for an effective response to contemporary security challenges.
