Abstract

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the fundamental legal framework for animal protection is the Law on Animal Protection and Welfare (Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina, No. 25/09 and 9/18). This law represents a significant step forward, establishing basic ethical standards for the treatment of experimental animals. The aim of this paper was to present the current legislative framework governing animal experiments in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its implementation in practice.
