Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina has existed as a sovereign state since March 1992. It was then that they proclaimed their independence, following the example of Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia, which ultimately led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and was one of the reasons for the outbreak of civil war. The economy that was destroyed in the 1992–1995 war has been still recovering. In the post-war years (1998–2008), there was a significant economic growth reported. The 2008 world crisis caused a slowdown in the economy of Bosnia and there was a very low increase recorded until 2014. In 2015, the economic situation started to improve. In the next year, the country applied for EU’s membership. In September, the application was approved and Bosnia became the EU associated country. Unfortunately, the years 2017 and 2018 brought another economic and political crisis. The article aims at presenting the current economic and political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
