According to the information from the BiH Statistical Institute, the average wage in Bosnia and Herzegovina is BAM 1,154. However, it is not the same as a decent salary. A decent salary is an abstract concept to the majority of Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens.
Citizens of Banja Luka did not want to talk with us about their salaries. They say it’s a private matter but also a painful topic. It's difficult for one to work hard every day and yet be short of so many things.
In Croatia, there is a Coalition for a Decent Salary. There is a Declaration of Living Wage in Serbia. Bosnia and Herzegovina is only at the beginning of this initiative that concerns us all.
