The government agreed on the establishment of a team of experts
which would coordinate the financing of projects for Bosnia and
Herzegovina. This year's state budget envisages 25 million kuna
(EUR3.37 million) for these projects, which refer to education,
culture, science, and health. Said funds will be allocated on the
basis of a public bid for tenders and given directly to the
beneficiaries.
The government's members agreed in principle on a proposed joint
Croatian-Bosnian candidacy for the 2008 European soccer
championship. The project envisages 419 million kuna (EUR56.5
million) for buildings alone, which urged some members to question
the cost-effectiveness of such an investment.
