Abstract
The territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina represents a seismically relatively active zone, given that it is under the influence of the convergent movement of the African plate towards the Eurasian plate. Evidence of the seis- micity of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the earthquakes recorded in the earthquake catalogs. The strongest earth- quake recorded on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 21st century is the earthquake that occurred in Stolac on April 22, 2022. The area of Stolac is characterized by numerous normal, oblique and overturned folds as well as reverse faults. The reverse faulting is the cause of the earthquake that occurred, which was proven by the analysis of the focal mechanism of the earthquake. Based on the GIS software of the National In- stitute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Italy for earthquake dislocations, the maximum possible earthquake magnitude was determined, which for the Stolac area is 7 degrees on the Richter scale. In view of this, it is nec- essary to design, build and reconstruct buildings so that they are resistant to earthquakes. Keywords: earthquake, seismicity, beachball diagrams, hazard
