Bosnian State-Owned TRZ Hadzici Workers Call Protest as Wages Go Unpaid
Employees at state-owned Tehničko-remontni zavod Hadzici have announced a protest after two consecutive months without pay. The situation raises concerns about financial stability and production continuity at the Bosnian defense-industry company.
Employees of Tehnicko-remontni zavod Hadzici have announced plans to stage a protest after salaries for December and January were not paid, according to local reporting and worker representatives.
The company, based in Hadzici, is state-owned and forms part of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s defense-industrial base. TRZ Hadzici has historically focused on maintenance, overhaul, and production activities related to military equipment.
Workers stated that the failure to disburse two months of wages has placed significant financial strain on employees. They are calling for the immediate payment of outstanding salaries and for steps to secure new contracts and ensure the supply of materials necessary to maintain production activity.
According to employee representatives, uncertainty over workload and input availability has contributed to operational disruption. The protest is intended to highlight concerns over job security and the long-term sustainability of the enterprise.
The case underscores structural pressures facing parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s state-linked defense sector, particularly companies dependent on steady contract flow and timely financial support. No official statement from company management or relevant authorities had been issued at the time of reporting.
