Bosnia and Herzegovina has two State-managed reception centres, Salakovac Refugee Reception Centre, managed by the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees and the Delijas Asylum Centre, managed by the Sector for Asylum within the Ministry of Security.
IOM is also supporting the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs in Centre Coordination and Management (CCCM) of an additional seven temporary reception centres, including administration, coordination and management of centres.

In these five reception centres, IOM has dedicated CCCM staff (centre managers, centre administrators, registration staff and centre assistants), cultural mediators, and provides for security personnel present 24/7. IOM CCCM coordinates the service provision in each centre, and work to increase the Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) and participation of the migrant population in the daily life of the centres. IOM has together with partners established community structures, complaint and feedback mechanisms, as well as info centres for a more predictable and transparent response.
