CIJ Europe has announced the launch of the inaugural CIJ Awards Bosnia & Herzegovina, the latest addition to its long-running series of property awards across Central and South-Eastern Europe. The new edition will shine a spotlight on the most successful developments, companies, and leaders in Bosnia & Herzegovina’s commercial real estate market. Winners from this national competition will also qualify for the prestigious Best of the Best Hall of Fame Awards in 2026, where they will compete against leading projects and firms from six other countries in the region. The awards cover a wide spectrum of categories, ranging from residential, office, retail, warehouse and industrial projects to sustainability-focused developments, major investment transactions, agencies, and leadership achievements. Nominations are open until November 2025 for projects and initiatives completed between December 2024 and November 2025. Each company may submit up to five entries, with full documentation required to ensure eligibility. Entries will be evaluated through a two-step process. First, an online digital jury composed of industry experts will assess submissions, followed by an in-person jury committee of up to 32 professionals. To ensure impartiality, members whose companies are nominated in a category will abstain from voting in that category. All results will be reviewed and confirmed by an independent audit firm, providing transparency and fairness to the process. The winners will be unveiled at a gala ceremony in May 2026 at the Radisson Blu in Bucharest, Romania. The evening will include networking opportunities, a formal dinner, entertainment, the awards ceremony and post-event socialising. Recipients will be presented with an engraved trophy and diploma, along with the right to use the CIJ Awards branding as a mark of industry recognition. The results will also be published on the CIJ Europe website and in the print edition of CIJ Europe magazine. Robert Fletcher, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of CIJ Europe, commented: “Bosnia & Herzegovina is an important and evolving market within the SEE region, with a growing number of projects that deserve recognition on both a local and international stage. By launching the CIJ Awards, we are giving developers, investors and agencies a new platform to showcase their achievements, while also connecting them to the wider Central and Eastern European property community. It’s a milestone for the market, and we are proud to be part of it.” The introduction of CIJ Awards Bosnia & Herzegovina underscores CIJ Europe’s commitment to highlighting emerging markets within the SEE region. For developers, investors and service providers, the awards offer an opportunity to gain visibility, strengthen professional networks and benchmark against industry best practices. By providing a gateway to wider recognition at the Hall of Fame Awards, the new event is set to bring Bosnia & Herzegovina’s property sector into sharper focus on the regional stage.
