Vehicle registration plates of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vehicle registration plates of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina vehicle registration plates have held their current form since 1998. Currently the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) vehicle registration consists of seven characters: six numbers and one letter arranged in the following order 000 - X - 000. The plates are uniform across the country and do not denote the place (town, municipality, canton, or entity) where the vehicle is registered, as was the case prior to 1998. Likewise the plates also do not contain any heraldic symbols.

The revised registration plates were introduced as an initiative of the International High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Carlos Westendorp [cite web|url=http://www.ohr.int/decisions/statemattersdec/default.asp?content_id=347|title=Decision on the Deadlines for the Implementation of the New Uniform Licence Plate System|date=20 May 1998] . In a report from the Office of the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina prior to the decision, it had been noted that police conduct around the Inter-Entity Boundary Line separating the two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, had been the "greatest obstacle to freedom of movement", including intimidation and arbitrary fines. [cite web|url=http://www.ohr.int/other-doc/hr-reports/default.asp?content_id=3668|title=5th Report of the High Representative, s. 85]

Elsewhere it has been noted that vehicles which bore licence plates from one entity would be subject to vandalism in the other entity. [cite journal|author=Dahlman, C.|co-author=Ó Tuathail, G.|date=2000|title=The legacy of ethnic cleansing: the international community and the returns process in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina|journal=Political Geography|volume=24|issue=5|pages=569-599] The development of licence plates which would not serve as proxy identifiers of driver ethnicity was a partial solution to these problems.

On territory of so-called "Croat Republic of Herceg-Bosna", license plates were used similar to those of Republic of Croatia, with difference in the shape of shield in Croat coat of arms ("checkerboard"-"šahovnica").
