Bosnia and Herzegovina records 15 holidays in 2026. 4 are nationwide public holidays and 11 apply only in certain regions. Praznik rada (2 May 2026) falls on a weekend in 2026, so it hands back no extra day off. Nova Godina (1 Jan 2026) sits on a Tuesday or Thursday, so booking the Friday turns it into a four-day break. The busiest month is Jan, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 119 days, between 2 Jan 2026 and 1 May 2026. The last was Praznik rada on 2 May 2026.
