Covid-19 in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) have been challenged with the high number of cases of COVID-19 during the last waves, which introduced some of the restrictions. However, as of 24 February 2022, all restrictions are cancelled. Of course, recommendations on safety and keeping yourself healthy are always on.

Covid-19 and the University of Sarajevo

The University of Sarajevo has made the necessary changes in the procedures so that everyone can be guaranteed maximum security and ensure that our students (international and local) will continue to have a profitable academic experience in the best health and safety conditions.

The classes at the University of Sarajevo are organized following the Covid-19 regulations. So far, we have had an in-person model, but depending on the module, availability, possibility and attendance, the classes can be organized online.
