Federal News Agency or FENA (Bosnian: Federalna novinska agencija - Serbian: Федерална новинска агенција - ФЕНА) is the government-owned national news agency of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

History

It was established in 2000[3] by a Decree of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the purpose of performing news and agency activities of importance to the FBiH.

The FENA news agency was created by merging the former entity-owned agencies BH Press Sarajevo and Habena Mostar. The head office is based in Sarajevo (Ćemaluša 1, 71 000 Sarajevo[4] and Obala Kulina bana 16, 71 000 Sarajevo[5]) and in Mostar (Ante Starčevića bb, 88 000 Mostar).

Every day, FENA publishes an average of about 250 news items in the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHS) and English, and in addition to general and specialist news services, it publishes an increasing number of photo and video content.

According to the media reports,[6] FENA's correspondent network is spread throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, because they have taken their role in the media sector seriously and publish news from all over the country on a daily basis. [7]
