The text analyses TÃ1⁄4rkiyeâ s influence operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their implications for the internal situation and the EUâ s interests. Turkish activities are analysed in the fields of diplomacy, public diplomacy, information operations, economic operations, and clandestine and military operations using an updated RAND model. The article argues that TÃ1⁄4rkiye adopts a pragmatic approach, prioritising economic ties and carefully tailoring narratives for diverse audiences in the country. This approach enables Ankara to maintain constructive relations with representatives of the three main ethnic groups and act as a mediator during Bosnia and Herzegovinaâ s internal crises and the EUâ s diminishing presence. However, as Turkish relations with local actors are mainly ErdoÄ an-centric and personalised, there are also potential risks and challenges. These encompass corruption, the erosion of democratic institutions, the exportation of TÃ1⁄4rkiyeâ s internal issues to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the undermining of the EUâ s influence in the country
