Grad Mostar

What Grad Mostar does

Grad Mostar (City of Mostar) is the unified municipal government of Mostar, located in the Hercegovačko-neretvanski Canton (HNŽ) of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The current administrative structure was established in 2004 when six former municipal districts were merged under a single city statute. The entity is governed by an elected mayor (Mario Kordiæ, dr. sc., in office since 2021) and city council (Gradsko vijeće), and serves a population of approximately 105,797 residents across a 1,165 km² territory. Its core function is the delivery of municipal governance services — including urban planning, civil protection, finance, education and social welfare coordination, and permitting — to citizens, local businesses, and visitors. The city owns and oversees eight public enterprises (JP Mostar Bus, Komunalno, Vodovod, Deponija, Mostar Parking, Tržnice-Pijace, Mosport, and Mostar Airport) covering public transport, water, waste, parking, markets, sports, and the airport.

The city's revenue model is a hybrid of municipal tax revenue (property taxes, local levies), public-utility fees (water, waste, parking) collected through its subsidiaries, permit and administrative fees, and intergovernmental transfers including cantonal, federal, and international grants (Interreg, URBACT, DFF3). Services are delivered through a central administrative headquarters at Hrvatskih branitelja 2, six regional offices (Područni uredi), and 43 local community centers (mjesne zajednice), with an official website portal (mostar.ba), a tourism portal (turizam.mostar.ba), a GIS system (mostargis.ba), and a Facebook channel as the primary digital surfaces. No public API or developer-facing integrations are offered. Distribution of services to citizens and businesses is direct; engagement with international programs is event- and project-driven. Recent capital activity includes a 2.2 million KM credit facility from Intesa Sanpaolo Bank for Mostar Bus fleet modernization (announced July 2026) and parallel participation in EU programs (URBACT Pioneers, Interreg VI-A IPA HR-BA-ME TO 0 WASTE, AQUATIK-EU, DFF3).

Grad Mostar's primary customers are city residents, local businesses and entrepreneurs, and tourists drawn to the UNESCO-inscribed Stari Most and Herzegovina cultural sites (Blagaj, Hutovo Blato). The city has 148 registered civil society organizations in its NGO database and operates 24 primary schools, 19 secondary schools, and 12 cultural institutions. Its strategic direction under the current administration emphasizes EU integration, fleet and infrastructure modernization, citizen-engagement programming (notably youth entrepreneurship via Fondacija Mozaik and tourism-route expansion), and response to recent operational shocks including the October 2024 floods and a major fire at the Uborak landfill in 2026.
