Organizational Capacity and Resources Information on cyber troop activity within Bosnia and Herzegovina is scarce. Given the fragmented state of the country and its government, most domestic disinformation activity focuses on conflicts between different political forces. Many of the narratives are disseminated from outlets controlled by forces outside of the country. For those located inside, there exists little to no evidence to tie them to any one particular actor or party, although the perspectives they share give hint as to whom they sympathize with. Still, sympathizing alone is not enough to claim that particular outlets are working directly for a specific party. The sharing and production of fake stories seems quite consistent, though it cannot be said with certainty that they are run by national state actors. Considering the general disorganization of the state, its cyber troop capacity and coordination is thus quite limited.
