The Agency for Identification Documents, Registers, and Data Exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina (IDDEEA BiH) proudly announces that its strategic project “e-IDDEEA: Your Mobile Gateway to Government Services” has been selected as a finalist for the prestigious Innovation in Politics Awards 2025 in the category of Democracy Technologies.
Among hundreds of applications from across Europe, IDDEEA’s project was recognised by a jury of over 1,000 European citizens as an inspiring example of digital innovation that enhances trust in institutions, facilitates access to public services, and strengthens the foundations of modern democracy.
This recognition is no coincidence. It is the result of a clear vision, determination, and expertise that drive IDDEEA’s work. As a leader in digital transformation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, IDDEEA continues to demonstrate that the country’s institutions can be modern, functional, and recognised at the European level — when led by people who believe in the country and understand how to build it.
The e-IDDEEA project is more than just a technological innovation; it is a message, i.e., a declaration that Bosnia and Herzegovina can and should be recognised for its expertise, development, and accountability. IDDEEA’s plan to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the awards ceremony in Vienna, the European Capital of Democracy, on September 17, 2025, is a testament to Europe’s recognition of what many people in BiH still fail to see: that we have the people, the ideas, and the capacity to lead European processes.
As a result, the question is no longer whether IDDEEA knows what it’s doing — Europe has confirmed that it does. It is time for the domestic public, institutions, and all levels of government to finally recognise and support this vision, because IDDEEA does not work for itself — IDDEEA works for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Let this recognition be a call to all of us to believe more, to work harder, and to unite in building a more powerful, contemporary, and equitable Bosnia and Herzegovina. A country is not defined by slogans but by concrete results. And those are exactly the results that IDDEEA delivers every day.
