Ministry of Health of the BiH Federation, said that today there are no new cases. For now 101 people are still with the virus, 39 in total.
Every few days new cases are found in northern Bosnia, in Tesanj, in the canton of Zenica.

In the canton of Mostar, where Medjugorje is located, there are only two active cases, and for many days there have been no new cases. In the municipality of Citluk, the capital of Medjugorje, now and more than a month without new cases. In the canton next door, ZHZ there have been no new cases for more than a month, and there is no one who is positive. The government has announced that they will soon proclaim the end of the pandemic, probably next week.
By now everything works as before. All shops are open (even in shopping centers) and also most restaurants. Some do not open because there are no pilgrims, but they are all ready to open. For some days, hotels, swimming pools and spas have also been open. Discos are also open in Mostar. We still recommend keeping your distance, and wearing masks in closed spaces but not outdoors.
The real problem is how to get there.
From today all Croatian, Serbian and Montenegrin citizens can come without explanations, without quarantine and without the test. For other foreigners it takes the certificate that you come for work or some other valid reason. For tourism or pilgrimage you still cannot enter the country.
But there is good news.
Sarajevo Airport, Banjaluka and Tuzla are open from today. Flights are few, but they begin. It will still take 2 weeks, but many airlines have announced flights to Bosnia, such as Austrian Airways, Lufthansa, Turkish airlines, ... Tickets can already be purchased on their websites
To come with the car, for now you can not. Croatia has opened its borders to several European states, but not to Ireland ,Uk or USA. And as I wrote earlier, foreigners cannot come to BiH, only from neighboring countries.
