When it comes to Bosnia and Herzegovina, in this field government rapidly works on education of penal staff and reduction and adapting laws relating to the matter. Vacuum between prison sentences, on the one hand, and probation on the other hand, is filled in a series of so-called "medium" or intermediate sanctions, and their purpose is to provide adequate social response to criminal activity. For this reason it is important to emphasize the role and importance of the system of probation and alternative criminal sanctions in non-institutional treatment of perpetrators of criminal acts and their re-socialization within the community.
