Summary/Abstract: The new Regulation on data protection in EU sets up high standards of protection of its citizens private data. The new European framework pushes for growth of the EU’s economy, while persisting with high level of personal data respecting. Therefore, EU regulators are not interested just for protecting of data inside of the EU, but they also wanted these data to be secured in case of transfer. It means that EU will tolerate data export outside the EU only to third countries witih an adequate level of data protection. This analysis shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina should act very quickly with reforming its data protection framework, especially if it wants to stay politically and economically tied with EU. Therefore, Bosnia and Herzegovina should aim to become “safe country” for European data by adopting new adequate framework. Besides, current Bosnia and Herzegovina framework is not customized for new digital age because it cannot guarantee privacy and data protection in new circumstances. Data protection reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina should be grounded on new social environment. Citizens should be provided with more power and control of their data, while duties of controllers and processors should be strictly prescribed. Besides harmonising with EU framework for mentioned reasons, Bosnia and Herzegovina should, by following European model, adopt new data protection framework, which could generate an economic growth, anchoring of nacional security while setting up high level of respecting personal data.
