RISKS AND VULNERABILITY OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA- ASSESSMENT AND PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: Risk is the probability of harmful consequences, or expected losses (death, injuries, loss of property and other material goods, interruption of economic activities or environmental degradation), which result from the interaction of natural or anthropologically caused hazards and conditions of vulnerability. Vulnerability is a condition determined by physical, social, economic and ecological factors or processes that increase the community’s resistance or susceptibility to hazardous effects. Critical infrastructure represents infrastructure of vital importance to every country and social community in the world. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is still no law at the state level that regulates this area which is why there is no single approach to defining, assessing and protecting critical infrastructure. This paper deals with defining and evaluating the possibility of protecting critical infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina through description, comparison and analysis of document content. The complexity of the security system, the division of powers and responsibilities in the political system and the slow adoption of new trends in the field of protection and rescue are obstacles to establishing a unique concept of critical infrastructure in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
