Bosnia and Herzegovina
Europe · Southern Europe
Spearfishing (underwater fishing with a speargun, spear or harpoon) is prohibited in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fisheries is not a state-level competence; it is regulated by the two entities (the Federation of B&H and Republika Srpska) and by the Brcko District through separate freshwater-fishery laws. Every freshwater-fishery instrument that could be verified expressly forbids catching fish with an underwater gun (podvodna puska), spears (osti) and harpoons (harpuni) and treats this as a punishable offence. B&H has only a very short (~20-24 km) Adriatic coastline around Neum, but it has no marine/sea sport-fishing law or licensing regime; the sea border with Croatia remains unratified (1999 Neum Agreement) and the protected area off Neum (date-mussel ban) further restricts any underwater harvesting. There is therefore no lawful route to recreational spearfishing in either fresh water or the sea.

- 휴어기Freshwater fish during their spawning closed season (lovostaj); exact dates set per species and per fishing area by the management programme / annual plan of the fishing-rights holder, not fixed in the primary law.
B&H freshwater-fishery laws define lovostaj (closed season) as the period when given fish species may not be caught or placed on the market; concrete species dates are set in subordinate acts and area management programmes. Note: spearfishing is prohibited year-round regardless of season, so closed seasons are not separately relevant to spearfishing.

방문자 & 거주자
외국인 방문자와 현지 거주자에게 규정이 어떻게 다른지.
외국인 방문자
허용 안 됨요건
- For ordinary angling, a foreign angler may fish on the basis of a licence (Brcko District Art. 67(4)); foreigners with proof of a passed angling exam are issued a licence (Art. 17(2)).

- No marine sport-fishing/spearfishing regime exists on the Neum coast.
Foreigners can lawfully practise rod-and-line freshwater angling with the appropriate licence, but spearfishing is banned outright; there is no foreigner-specific permit that would legalise it.
거주자

요건

- Hold a valid sport-recreational fishing licence for the relevant fishing area.
Residents have no special pathway to spearfishing; the underwater-gun/spear/harpoon prohibition applies to all persons.

조사자 메모
Bosnia and Herzegovina has no state-level fisheries law; recreational fishing is governed at entity/district level by separate freshwater-fishery laws. Three regimes were checked: (1) Federation of B&H - Zakon o slatkovodnom ribarstvu, Sl. novine FBiH 64/04, Art. 46(1)3 bans harpoon/spear fishing (verbatim retrieved from the official FBiH government page; a 2021 draft Art. 52(1)k keeps and broadens the ban to include 'podvodna puska'); (2) Brcko District - Zakon o slatkovodnom ribarstvu, Sl. glasnik 35/05, Art. 54(1)5 bans 'podvodna puska, osti, harpuni' with a matching penalty in Art. 69 (verbatim retrieved from FAOLEX); (3) Republika Srpska - the entity Zakon o ribarstvu likewise prohibits fishing with harpoon, spears and underwater guns, but a verbatim RS-specific text with a confirmed article number could not be fetched from an authoritative RS source during this research, so no RS law_texts entry is included to avoid fabricating an article number; the RS ban is reflected in legal_framework and summary only. Conclusion: recreational spearfishing is illegal everywhere in B&H fresh waters. On the sea side, B&H's ~20-24 km Adriatic coast at Neum has no marine sport-fishing/spearfishing law or licensing system, the maritime border with Croatia (1999 Neum Agreement) is unratified, and date-mussel harvesting is banned; there is no lawful spearfishing route in the sea either. Confidence is 'medium' (not 'high') because RS verbatim text was not directly retrieved and species-level size/bag limits live in subordinate acts that were not captured.
