Mine Detection Dog Center in BiH

03/04/2026

Tomorrow, on April 4th, the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action, we are reminded of the ongoing danger that landmines and unexploded ordnances pose to human lives. This day gives us an opportunity to once again highlight the importance of demining, education and prevention. Together, we can contribute to a safer, mine-free future.

Special emphasis during the symposium is placed on the declaration of the Republic of Croatia as a country free from mine threats!
This is a remarkable milestone and a significant achievement, and we have extended our sincere congratulations to our colleagues from Mine Action Center of Republic of Croatia- HCR on this outstanding success.

As the days are getting longer and brighter and we begin spending more time outdoors, nature becomes a place to rest and enjoy time with family and friends. But danger still lies hidden beneath the surface. Recently, our deminers removed one such danger. A PROM-1 mine, one of the deadliest anti-personnel mines that continued to claim lives in Bosnia and Herzegovina even after the war has ended, was found hidden under grass and leaves in a mine-suspected area and safely destroyed. This is just one of many mines our dedicated deminers have located and destroyed since returning to the field after the winter break.

We also have wonderful news to share: a new mine detection dog, trained by our MDD Trainer, successfully passed its accreditation test on the first attempt and is now ready to join mine action operations 🐕‍🦺
Thank you to all who support demining efforts and help make our country a safer place to live. 💙

As we approach the end of another year, it feels like the right moment to look back at what we have accomplished. Clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance is not only about making communities safer, it is also about creating the potential for economic growth and investments that will benefit all of us. Every piece of land that has been cleared of landmines opens the new opportunities for agriculture, tourism and new infrastructure and for the return of everyday life to communities that lived with fear for too long. That is why investing in demining is an investment in stability and development. In the year ahead, we remain committed to the same goal: creating surroundings for people to live and work without danger in environments with real potential for growth, investment and progress.
Thank you to everyone who supports this effort. Your involvement delivers real results and helps build better future.

On August 30, in the Doboj area, a 19-year-old young man lost his life after stepping on an anti-personnel mine while tending goats.

This tragedy is yet another reminder that landmines and other explosive devices remain a deadly threat in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Every life lost is a call to accelerate efforts to make Bosna and Herzegovina a mine-free country.

In a field where danger is hidden underground, mine detection dog works silently. His sense of smell is a compass guiding him across land that hides deadly secrets: mines. The dog follows every trace, every scent, and stops only when he finds what no one else could. His courage is not measured by barking or strength, but by quiet, patient steps that save lives.
These dogs, trained to detect mines, work in silence. Behind them remain villages saved, fields safe for cultivation, and yards once again filled with children’s laughter. They do not know politics, war, or borders, they know and understand people and the trust they share with their humans. And when the working leash comes off, they become what they have always loved being the most: best friends. They do not ask for recognition, medals, or words of praise. They only ask for trust and a hand to gently pat them.
We are proud that hundreds of such dogs have completed training at MDDC and today provide support in mine clearance across eleven countries worldwide. In communities still living under the threat of minefields, they bring what matters most, safety and the chance for a new beginning
