The high guest was welcomed at Tuzla airport by a Bosnian
state delegation, led by Foreign Minister Jadranko Prlic.
The Swedish King will have separate meetings with Prlic,
Prlic's deputy Husein Zivalj, and the Minister of Civil Affairs
and Communications in the Bosnian Council of Ministers, Spasoje
Albijanic.
According to Prlic, the talks would probably focus on the
return of Bosnia's refugees currently accommodated in Sweden, and
the aid amounting to 30 million dollars the Swedish government
would give to Bosnia this year.
Before leaving Tuzla, the Swedish King will meet
representatives of international organisations.
