The data for the indicator are based on national administrative data on international protection provided by the Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Sector for Asylum. The Sector for Asylum is responsible for processing asylum applications, issuing decisions in asylum procedures, registering asylum seekers and maintaining official records and databases. For the purposes of SDG indicator 10.60, the data are presented in accordance with the Eurostat methodological framework and expressed as the number per million inhabitants. The indicator comprises two separate time series: first-time applicants for international protection and positive first-instance decisions. These two series do not represent the same group of persons in the same year, since an application submitted in one year may be decided in a later year. The data are collected from administrative records and processed in accordance with the requirements for internationally comparable statistics. The methodological definitions and rules for this indicator are aligned with the Eurostat methodology. Progress assessment is not applicable to this indicator under the EU SDG indicator methodology because no relevant policy target has been established against which progress could be assessed. |
