Bosnia & Herzegovina, situated in rugged terrain with sprawling mountain ranges and isolated rural areas, faces notable geographical challenges for technology and telecommunications. The country's population distribution, centred around urban areas like Sarajevo and Tuzla, adds to the complexity. Despite these challenges, Bosnia & Herzegovina has demonstrated remarkable progress in its digital journey. It has made strides in digital integration, with a rapid rise in internet penetration, currently at almost 80% (2023). A particular success story for the country is the development of infrastructure via the government-driven E-Srpska initiative, which has fostered digital transformation in public administration and education. The country, however, still struggles with ensuring consistent and widespread access to high-speed internet, an issue compounded by the mountainous topography. Unique solutions such as using satellite connections in remote areas are being explored to bridge this digital divide.
