  "description": "The Agency for Intermediary, IT and Financial Services' (Agencija za posredničke, informatičke i finansijske usluge, APIF) Form RPS-1, Пријава за разврставање пословног субјекта по дјелатности (Application for Classification of a Business Entity by Activity) — opens Bosnia and Herzegovina as the registry's 97th jurisdiction, via its Business Formation vertical (1 of 6). APIF administers the Register of Business Entities (Registar poslovnih subjekata, RPS) of Republika Srpska, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's two constituent entities (the other being the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, plus the Brčko District); this schema is scoped to Republika Srpska only. Form RPS-1 is filed for several distinct events — establishment, merger, division, spin-off, joint venture, relocation-in (collectively, 'emergence' of a business entity), as well as, on the same form, a business entity's cessation or amendment of already-registered particulars — selected via a single 'type of change' field. This v1.0.0 is scoped to the six 'emergence' change types (the Business Formation use case: bringing a new business entity into the Register), following this registry's established narrow-scoping convention; cessation and pure-amendment filings are disclosed as out of scope, left as backlog for a future companion schema. APIF's own primary court-registration application (a companion, distinct form, 'Prijava za registraciju poslovnih subjekata u sudu') was found to be a dynamic XFA (Adobe LiveCycle) form not renderable by this registry's PDF-extraction toolchain; RPS-1 is a genuine, independently-filed statistical/registry classification application administered directly by APIF with a clean, extractable text layer, and is modelled here instead — see this document's own VERIFICATION.md for the full record of that finding. GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Government of Republika Srpska, or APIF.",
