Poverty as an Eden for Recruitment
- According to official statistical data, unemployment in the country, on average, is at 40%.
- Poverty strengthens the wish to leave the ghetto, which then results in stronger desire for emigration that can further lead to accepting false business offers abroad and entering the world of human trafficking.
Lack of Political Will to Fight Organized Crime
The lack of political will felt in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a long time, which increased in the postwar lawlessness, encourages trafficking in human beings.
However, that lawlessness is now being replaced by the building of collaboration between Bosnia and Herzegovina law enforcement agencies and the creation of new Bosnia and Herzegovina state institutions for enforcing the law, by:
- foundation of the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by the reform of the judiciary system, and by the adoption and implementation of the State Action Plan for Prevention of Human Trafficking
- Bosnia and Herzegovina is now participating in regional and international initiatives against organized crime, especially within Stability Pace (a benchmark for bringing peace and normalcy to the region) in Southeast Europe.
- Lack of political will contributes to the strengthening of the criminal networkand leads to the undermining of public institutions, which in turn contributes to political instability and has long-term negative political implications.
- The Council of Europe, in its feasibility study, outlined 16 conditions that Bosnia and Herzegovina needs to fulfill including signing the Agreement on Accession and Stabilization with the European Union.
