According to Hasanović, this framework needs to better align with the real needs of Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutions. "Starting from the fact that revenues from indirect taxes in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been continuously growing year after year, and that the level of allocations for BiH institutions has been effectively fixed at 1,020,000,000 KM for many years, it is clear that there is a basis and a real source of funds to correct this amount precisely through the growth of indirect tax revenues," stated Hasanović. The Deputy Minister of Finance of BiH further emphasizes that the proposed increase in the budget for our country's institutions for 2026 amounts to 10 million KM, which he considers insufficient. "Therefore, I propose increasing the total budget framework for Bosnia and Herzegovina's institutions by an additional 40,000,000 KM in 2026, with a clearly defined multi-year projection for the following period," he said. He also announced how the money would be distributed, addressing some of the specific budget requests. "For 2026: 30,000,000 KM for BHRT, through direct transfers or subsidies to public enterprises via the Ministry of Transport and Communications, as an intervention measure to stabilize the public RTV system; 10,000,000 KM for cultural institutions. For 2027: 10,000,000 KM for cultural institutions. For 2028: 10,000,000 KM for cultural institutions," is Hasanović's proposal. He emphasized that allocating funds for BHRT in 2026 represents a necessary intervention measure aimed at stabilizing the public RTV system, which, he notes, plays a key role in informing citizens and serving the public interest at the state level. "When it comes to cultural institutions, the earmarked funds of 10,000,000 KM annually refer to institutions of national importance that do not have systematically resolved funding. This model ensures their stability and operational sustainability," he said. He also outlined how the funds intended for cultural institutions would be distributed. • National and University Library of BiH – 2,100,000 KM • National Museum of BiH – 2,100,000 KM • Art Gallery of BiH – 1,300,000 KM • Historical Museum of BiH – 1,300,000 KM • Museum of Literature and Performing Arts of BiH – 1,100,000 KM • Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired of BiH – 1,050,000 KM • Film Archive of BiH – 1,050,000 KM He emphasized that these funds are intended for employee salaries and contributions, regular operating expenses, as well as capacity and infrastructure development. "The goal of such funding is to preserve cultural heritage, stabilize institutions of national importance, and increase cultural accessibility for all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina," stated Hasanović. He added that the proposed budget increase represents a fiscally sustainable and developmentally justified measure, based on the growth of indirect tax revenues as a real funding source, the long-term stagnation of the budget framework, and the need to stabilize key state systems. "By combining a one-time stabilization of BHRT and multi-year systemic funding for cultural institutions, the long-term functionality of institutions and the protection of the public interest of Bosnia and Herzegovina are ensured. This way, BHRT is stabilized, leaving room for uninterrupted work in the next period, as well as finding a permanent systemic solution, both for the public RTV service and for the seven cultural institutions of national importance," noted Hasanović. Finally, he stated that if no agreement is reached, he would be prepared to act if the High Representative in BiH, Christian Schmidt, authorizes him to resolve this issue.
