The Zenica-Doboj Canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina established a regulation to categorize athletes and define 27 rights they are entitled to based on their performance.
The regulation resulted from collaboration with the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina and sets objective criteria for evaluating athletic achievements. Prime Minister Nezir Pivić stated this action is part of the government’s broader efforts to improve conditions during its term.
A working group of eleven people, led by Professor Šemso Osmanović from the University of Sarajevo’s Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, prepared the regulation. Minister Mirza Mušija noted the canton’s government has been systematically reforming the sports sector, including increasing funding from approximately 1.4 million KM to 6.6 million KM this year. The Zenica-Doboj Canton followed the Central Bosnia Canton in implementing a system for categorizing and recognizing athletes’ results within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Athletes will initiate the categorization process through their clubs and relevant associations, and the regulation includes seven categories, specific criteria for over 20 sports, and 27 rights.
