A court decision issued abroad does not automatically produce legal effect in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To have the same enforceability in BiH, a recognition procedure must be carried out before the competent court.
This process is particularly relevant for individuals living or working abroad (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) who have family, business, or property ties in BiH.
