&lt;p&gt;U sistemu prava intelektualnog vlasni&amp;scaron;tva, oznake geografskog porijekla&lt;br /&gt;su segment u kojem Bosna i Hercegovina ima naveći potencijal. Uz to,&lt;br /&gt;poljoprivredna proizvodnja jedna je od osnovnih privrednih grana Bosne&lt;br /&gt;i Hercegovine. Sve veći zahtjevi za proizvodima domaćeg, provjerenog&lt;br /&gt;porijekla, kao i zabrinutost kupaca za zdravstvene aspekte ishrane, proizvode sa&lt;br /&gt;oznakom geografskog porijekla posljednjih nekoliko decenija stavljaju u fokus&lt;br /&gt;interesovanja. Travnički/Vla&amp;scaron;ićki sir jedan je od domaćih, autohtonih, poznatih&lt;br /&gt;proizvoda koji nije u potpunosti za&amp;scaron;tićen oznakom geografskog porijekla pred&lt;br /&gt;nadležnim Institutom za intelektualno vlasni&amp;scaron;tvo Bosne i Hercegovine. Rad traga&lt;br /&gt;za odgovorom na pitanje da li Travnički/Vla&amp;scaron;ićki sir ispunjava uslove za za&amp;scaron;titu&lt;br /&gt;oznakom geografskog porijekla, te koji je prijedlog modaliteta za&amp;scaron;tite. Rezultati&lt;br /&gt;istraživanja pokazuju da proizvod ima dugogodi&amp;scaron;nju pozitivnu reputaciju, ali i&lt;br /&gt;da je do&amp;scaron;lo do razdvajanja naziva na Travnički i Vla&amp;scaron;ićki sir, kao i razdvajanja&lt;br /&gt;kori&amp;scaron;tenih sirovina za proizvodnju, te geografskog područja proizvodnje. Zbog&lt;br /&gt;toga se daje prijedlog da Vla&amp;scaron;ićki sir bude za&amp;scaron;tićen kao geografska oznaka ili&lt;br /&gt;eventualno ime porijekla za sir od ovčijeg mlijeka, dok bi naziv Travnički sir bio&lt;br /&gt;za&amp;scaron;tićen također kao geografska oznaka za sir od kravljeg mlijeka.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the system of intellectual property rights, geographical indications are the&lt;br /&gt;area in which Bosnia and Herzegovina has the greatest potential. In addition,&lt;br /&gt;agricultural production is one of the basic economic branches of Bosnia and&lt;br /&gt;Herzegovina. Increasing demands for products of domestic, verified origin, as&lt;br /&gt;well as customers&amp;rsquo; concerns about health aspects of foodstuffs, have put products&lt;br /&gt;with geographical indications in the focus of interest in last few decades. The&lt;br /&gt;Travnik/Vla&amp;scaron;ić cheese is one of the domestic, autochthonous, well-known&lt;br /&gt;products that is not fully protected geographicla indication before the competent&lt;br /&gt;Institute for Intellectual Property of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper seeks an&lt;br /&gt;answer to the question of whether Travnik/Vla&amp;scaron;ić cheese meets the conditions for&lt;br /&gt;protection as geographical indication, and what would be appropriate modality&lt;br /&gt;of protection. The research results show that product has a reputation, but also&lt;br /&gt;that there was a separation of the names of Travnik and Vla&amp;scaron;ić cheese, as well as&lt;br /&gt;a separation of the raw materials used for production, and the geographical area&lt;br /&gt;of production. For this reason, the proposal is that Vla&amp;scaron;ić sir should be protected&lt;br /&gt;as protected geographical indication for sheep&amp;rsquo;s milk cheese, while the name&lt;br /&gt;Travnik cheese should also be protected as protected geographical indication for&lt;br /&gt;cow&amp;rsquo;s milk cheese.&lt;/p&gt;
