Shoot decision
Depends on setup
Small personal or low-impact work may be fine, but commercial, staged, exclusive-use, tripod, light, or crew-heavy work can cross the permit line.
Permit: conditionalPanorama: Non-commercial only
Permit line
Conditional, Municipality or site manager for commercial productions; no permit for personal street photography
Public space
Yes to photograph; publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under personality-rights principles
Drone layer
National rules via the BiH Directorate of Civil Aviation (BHDCA): drones over 249 g must be registered before flying, with separate OPEN (non-commercial) and SPECIFIC (commercial) regimes under the 2020 rulebook
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
Before you go
The field order that prevents wasted trips
Work in this order. Each step answers a different risk, and skipping ahead is how a simple shoot turns into a permit, flight, or gear problem on site.

Turn the rule answer into a route, frame list, and completion checklist before you are standing there.

If the plan includes a drone, check the flight side separately before you pack batteries.

Field kit
Travel kit for publication risk
When rules affect what you can publish or sell, carry versatile gear and avoid a kit that forces one landmark-heavy shot.

Drone Authority
Check the flight side
Photography access and drone permission are separate questions. Drone Authority covers the flight-law side for this country.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Municipality or site manager for commercial productions; no permit for personal street photography
Cost: No permit for personal photography; commercial crews need location clearances
Personal photography needs no permit. Commercial productions coordinate with municipal authorities and site managers; Mostar's old town and religious sites set their own conditions. The Sarajevo Film Fund and entity-level bodies assist productions.
Drone / airspace
National rules via the BiH Directorate of Civil Aviation (BHDCA): drones over 249 g must be registered before flying, with separate OPEN (non-commercial) and SPECIFIC (commercial) regimes under the 2020 rulebook
Non-commercial flights are capped lower than commercial ones; BHANSA manages airspace. For detail, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes to photograph; publishing a recognizable person generally needs consent under personality-rights principles
Not an EU member; data-protection law follows European models. Public events, public figures, and journalism are the usual exceptions.
Freedom of panorama
Non-commercial only
Article 52 of the 2010 Law on Copyright and Related Rights permits free use of works permanently located in squares, parks, streets, and other publicly accessible places, but the works may not be reproduced in 3D, used for the same purpose as the original, or used for economic advantage. Attribution is required where indicated on the work. Historic architecture (including the rebuilt Stari Most, a 16th-century design) is out of copyright.
Practical notes
- Mostar's Stari Most and Sarajevo's Bascarsija are the marquee shots and raise no copyright issue; modern monuments and murals are where the non-commercial limit applies.
- Unexploded mines remain a real hazard off marked paths in rural areas; stick to cleared routes when chasing landscapes.
- Do not photograph military installations; some religious sites restrict interior photography.
