The youth policy issues at national level are in jurisdiction of the Commission for Coordination of Youth Issues in BiH.
Most of the constitutional competencies regarding youth issues are exercised at the entities’ government level: RS, FBiH and District of Brcko BD. Accordingly, three entities have a youth related law, namely the RS Law on Youth Organization 2004, the FBiH Youth Law 2010 and the BD Youth Law 2017, and all three laws define the age limits for the youth as a target group aged 15-30. Subgroup(s) within the main youth age group are not established in relation to specific policy measures, and there are no official documents that define youth age differently.
