MOSTAR, Feb 27 (Hina) - Bosnia-Herzegovina's collective presidency's
chairman, Dragan Covic, has called on foreign business people to
increase their presence in Bosnia-Herzegovina as the country is an
attractive area for investments.#L#
Covic gave the statement at the end of a two-day investment
conference, which took place in the southern city of Mostar.
The conference was overshadowed by the death of Macedonian President
Boris Trajkovski and another eight persons who were aboard a plane
that crashed into a mountain near Mostar on Thursday morning. The
Macedonian delegation was also to attend the Mostar event.
The plenary session of the conference and bilateral meetings were
cancelled because of the tragic accident and only round table
discussions were held.
At one of the discussions, which was held today, participants talked
about plans for the construction of the European Vc corridor's section
running through Bosnia, which would cost over 2.5 billion euros.
Topics of the other round table discussions were the industry and the
power sector, the banking system, agriculture, food production and
tourism.
After yesterday's plane crash and Trajkovski's death, delegations from
several countries cancelled their visit to Mostar. Croatian President
Stjepan Mesic also cancelled his participation, while Premier Ivo
Sanader, who arrived in Mostar a day before the accident, attended
events on the first day of the conference.
