Impact of COVID-19 on Competition Authority operations

On 17 March 2020 the government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the state of emergency, Competition Authority operations have continued. However, as office access is not permitted, only postal filings and submissions are accepted (ie, in-person filings are not allowed) and face-to-face meetings cannot be held.

For now, the Competition Authority's filing and review deadlines remain unaffected. New legislation regarding deadlines in administrative proceedings before Bosnia and Herzegovina administrative bodies (including the Competition Authority) is currently before Parliament.
