INSTITUTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS OMBUDSMAN OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA for many years has been one of the institution's strategic partners. Thus, in 2019, cooperation continued on the implementation of the project of holding office days in Doboj, Bijeljina, Tuzla, Bihać, Drvar, Glamoč, Kupres and Bosansko Grahovo, and the project "Ombudsman in your city". Within this project, the Ombudsmen visited during 2019: Ljubuški 575, Prijedor 576, Prnjavor577 Travnik 578, Gradiška 579, Foča 580, Trebinje 581, Istočna Ilidža 582, Zvornik 583, Livno584, Posušje585, Glamoč 586, Grude 587, Doboj 588 i Višegrad 589. Practice has shown that this activity of the Institution is of great importance for all local communities, as it contributes to the greater presence of ombudsmen and other employees of the Institution in the field, and the accessibility of the Institution itself to citizens. In February 2019, at the Headquarters of the Institution in Banja Luka, with the support of the OSCE Mission to BiH, a Working Meeting of Environmental and Human Rights Ombudsmen was held on the topic: "Environmental Protection - The Role of the Ombudsman". The working meeting, which brought together over 30 participants, from representatives of the Ombudsman Institutions of the countries of the region (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro), authorities of all levels in Bosnia and Herzegovina, academia, NGOs and environmental activists from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region aimed at sharing ideas and good practices on environmental issues. They discussed current issues and problems in the field of environmental law and protection, as well as ways to overcome certain challenges in order to improve environmental protection, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the region. The contents of the Banja Luka Statement signed by the BiH Ombudsmen on 28 February 2019 and representatives of the Ombudsman institutions participating in the meeting were defined at the Meeting. In addition, the OSCE Mission to BiH, with the assistance of experts and in consultation with the Ombudsmen, has developed Guidelines for the preparation of an annual report on the results of the activities of the Human Rights Ombudsman Institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Special Report on the Right to Freedom of Assembly was jointly implemented and the Mission provided significant support to the Institution in organizing the annual meeting of the staff of the Institution. The fact is that, by the end of 2019, the Ombudsman has adopted a Co-operation Matrix with the OSCE Mission to BiH for the period 2019-2021. The year is a certain guarantee that this successful cooperation will continue in the future.
