Recognition of Same-sex Relationships
There is no legal recognition of same-sex couples on a federal or subnational level. Both the federal constitution and the constitution of Republika Srpska remain silent on gender eligibility for a marriage, and the federal statues of Bosnia and Herzegovina themselves remain wholly silent on such requirements. On a subnational scale, however, both the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska limit marriage to opposite-sex couples, as prescribed by their respective family codes.
