A criminal complaint has been filed against protesters who were allegedly involved in Friday's burning of the Presidential Office in Sarajevo.
Bosnian police announced in a written statement Wednesday that "several" protesters are being charged with "terrorism" and "attack on constitutional order" after an investigation.
The building's ground floor was set on fire Friday amid ongoing protests by public workers with clashes between police and demonstrators.
A series of protests by disgruntled public workers who claim they have been deprived of their social rights and benefits began in Tuzla last week.
The protests, which spread to other cities - including capital Sarajevo, Bihac, Zenica and Mostar - have been dubbed the "Bosnian Spring" by Bosnian media reports.
On Wednesday, demonstrators gathered in front of the Presidency Office and blocked Marshall Tito Street, but police did not intervene.
Meanwhile, a small group in southern Mostar protested at Spain Square.
Many instructors from Mostar Cemal Biyedic University joined the protest and called upon the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton Government to resign over criticisms of the university's financial status. Demonstrators later disbanded quietly due to rain.
In Macedonia, many leftist groups will organize a protest Thursday in front of the Bosnian embassy in Skopje to support the demonstrators in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In addition, High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Valentin Inzko told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday that the situation in the country is calm.
