GMF: in three decades Bosnia and Herzegovina lost about 24% of its citizens. IOM’s World Migration Report 2026 Europe chapter names Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine as the three countries with the steepest population declines from 2005 to 2024.

Westminster Foundation for Democracy: Bosnia can lose up to €21,000 in education investment per person who leaves. The education bill still goes to the sending state. Destination labour markets collect the adult.

This is origin-country collapse, not a RecyclicTech delivery claim. RecyclicTech has not published a Bosnian school handover. After Rădăuți, Bosnia-bound machines move only through verified education organisations. North Macedonia and Albania sit on the same Western Balkans pin until a named partner placement exists.

The still is an empty computer room in a Herzegovina stone school, with a map of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the wall — the sending classroom, not Stari Most and not a RecyclicTech drop-off. We do not invent a gymnasium list in Bosnia.
