Summary/Abstract: The implementation of strategies for the prevention and suppression of drug abuse represents a highly complex social and institutional challenge. This complexity arises from the multidimensional nature of drug abuse, which generates significant health, criminal, psychosocial, and economic consequences globally. In modern societies, efforts and resources are directed through strategic documents that define goals, measures, and instruments for addressing this issue. The Strategy for the Prevention and Suppression of Drug Abuse in the Canton of Sarajevo (2024–2028) marks an important step in advancing drug control policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite its multidisciplinary and integrated approach, the Strategy is expected to face several implementation challenges, including legislative fragmentation, resource limitations, weak intersectoral coordination, and institutional resistance. This paper aims to analyze these key challenges and propose potential solutions to enhance the Strategy’s effectiveness and sustain-ability in the local context.
