Long weekends and bridge days in Bosnia and Herzegovina
A long weekend is three or more days off in a row made by a nationwide holiday and the weekend. A bridge day is a working day with a day off on both sides: one leave day there joins a holiday to the weekend, or two holidays to each other.
Long weekends (1)
- Friday 1 January to Sunday 3 January 2027: 3 days off, with New Year's Day.
Bridge days (0)
No working day in 2027 sits between two days off, so there is no bridge day by this rule.
Regional holidays are left out of both lists: they depend on where the employee works.
Regional holidays
11 of the public holidays in Bosnia and Herzegovina apply only in the regions named in the table. Whether one applies to an employee depends on where they work, so a company with people in several regions has a different list for each.
