The characteristics of these areas that are important for conducting operations are position, location, shape, size, the method of construction, the layout of the street network, the existence of underground facilities, plants, etc. Their complexity is one of the greatest challenges for planners of these operations. To conduct operations in urban areas, forces are expected to be modular and thus flexible, and adaptable to a constantly changing environment. It is necessary to focus on smaller units that are in the field, up to company level. Their most important feature is to disperse fast, and then quickly concentrate towards target. The discussion between scientific and military circles is whether to establish special forces to fight in an urban area or to use the existing ones with certain technological solutio...

Although the existing system is legally defined and regulated, its actual functionality in the field, especially the training process, is questionable. This paper seeks to demonstrate the shortcomings of training within the protection and rescue system in BiH by analyzing legal solutions and other acts which should regulate training in the protection and rescue system at all levels. The analysis demonstrated that training is not implemented to a sufficient extent and a number of problems regarding the implementation of training, especially at the level of local governments which operate as first responders in the event of natural and other hazards.

The paper defines and explains the criteria affecting the selection of a camp (camp space), and the LBWA method is used to define the weight coefficients of the criteria. Using the MAIRCA method, which is modified with Z-numbers, it is selected the best alternative. In the final phase of the model development, the sensitivity analysis is performed and the results obtained by the developed model are compared with the results obtained by applying other methods and their various modifications.

One of the most significantissues raised is financing the system of protection and rescue. The aim of thispaper is to propose a new approach and a new model of financing the protectionand rescue system in the Republic of Srpska.The idea is to form the Fundfor protection and rescue that would basically be funded by interbank transactionsin the Republic of Srpska and funds raised from games of chance.

Psychological preparation for a potential adverse event can have a critical impact on the success of responses, and recovery efforts. This paper aims to analyze the psychological preparedness of rescuers and volunteers from Bosnia and Herzegovina who were assigned to the mission of minimizing the consequences of the earthquake in the Republic of Türkiye in February 2023. As a module in the training of the organizations that engaged them, the existence of psychosocial assistance provided to rescuers and volunteers (psychological first aid) in the circumstances of natural disasters was analyzed. The psychological readiness of the rescuers sent from Bosnia and Herzegovina to perform the assigned tasks and their status and condition during the mission were analyzed. The research was conducted in the period March-June 2023 using an anonymous questionnaire with combined questions. The results of this research determined that the majority of respondents believe that training aimed at protecting mental health and preventing the harmful effects of stressful situations in their work organization does not meet the challenges they encountered during the rescue mission in the Republic of Türkiye in February 2023. The results of this research highlight the need to find practical solutions-the inclusion of psychosocial assistance activities. It is therefore vital that psychological preparedness be included in emergency response plans.

It tries to point out potential hazards and propose possible measures to protect Western Europe from further penetration of this conservative Islamic movement through the Balkans. In order to elaborate the stated interdependency, this article includes our analysis of the phenomenon and spreading of Wahhabism throughout the Balkans, more concretely—on the territories of the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is precisely the region where Wahhabism has made its first step to “conquer” Europe.
