How to call emergency services in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The 112 European emergency number works across BiH and connects to the appropriate service. Operators may have limited English — state your location clearly. In Republika Srpska, 112 routes through the RS MUP dispatch. Keep entity-specific numbers (122/123/124) saved for direct calls. In mountain areas, mobile coverage can be patchy — rescue coordination goes through mountain rescue (Gorska služba spašavanja) via police.
