Salary base and EBRD funding approved by Bosnia’s Council of Ministers

The Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina has adopted key decisions establishing the baseline for calculating salaries and annual holiday allowances for employees in state institutions for 2027. Following the session, Chair of the Council of Ministers Borjana Kristo informed journalists that the decisions satisfy both legal mandates and obligations outlined in the collective agreement for state-level workers. At the proposal of the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, the salary calculation base for 2027 was set at 785.50 Bosnian marks (approx. €401.62), alongside an annual holiday allowance fixed at the identical figure of 785.50 marks (approx. €401.62). Ministers also approved an action plan to prepare the nation’s Economic Reform Programme for the 2027–2029 period. Kristo noted that the initiative promotes sustainable growth and employment while supporting convergence with European Union standards.
