Great potential for improving economic cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina

Belgrade, 24 February 2023

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic talked today with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Elmedin Konakovic about the improvement of bilateral relations, economic and regional cooperation, infrastructure projects and political dialogue.

Brnabic assessed that economic relations are good, but that there is room for further improvement of cooperation in the fields of infrastructure and energy, in which she sees a particularly great potential for cooperation.

The Prime Minister congratulated the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina on obtaining the candidate status for membership in the European Union, noting that this is a good signal for the entire region.

The Prime Minister underlined that Serbia is ready to give Bosnia and Herzegovina all the necessary help on that path which, as she assessed, is complex and lengthy.

She called on Konakovic to consider the possibility of Bosnia and Herzegovina joining the Open Balkans initiative and emphasised that membership in this initiative would contribute to strengthening economic cooperation and economic welfare of all citizens of the region.

The Prime Minister pointed out that she personally advocates strengthening political dialogue at the high and highest level.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina stated that the two countries should reach the full potential of economic cooperation which is, in his opinion, crucial for the progress of the region and for the population to remain there.
