A dispute between IDEEA and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Agency for the Protection of Personal Data has escalated after the Agency prohibited IDEEA from processing personal data needed for issuing qualified electronic certificates. This decision effectively halts the issuance of electronic signatures. Officials Forto and Badnjevic assert the state, not the Agency, holds responsibility for issuing these signatures. The move is being characterized as a jurisdictional overreach and a challenge to established procedures. IDEEA contends the Agency’s decision disregards existing regulations and attempts to usurp authority. The conflict threatens to disrupt digital processes reliant on electronic signatures within the country. The situation remains unresolved as of this report, with potential implications for digital governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
