Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of the study of teacher competences in media and information literacy in the Sarajevo Canton as the starting point for creation of policies and strategies for development of MIL in formal primary and secondary education. In this context, media and information literacy are seen as complementary and inseparable areas, and the interpretation of their importance and content is based on UNESCO’s integrative approach. The article argues that media and information literacy is a set of knowledge, skills and competences that every individual in the contemporary world needs to competently participate in public/social life, which, as such, must be developed (also) through formal education. To that end we present the assessment of the competences of teachers in the Sarajevo Canton for implementing MIL in their teaching.
