BOSNIAN SERB BUSINESS PEOPLE VISIT WESTERN HERZEGOVINA

( Editorial: --> 1779 ) MOSTAR/SIROKI BRIJEG, March 23 (Hina) - A delegation of business people from the Bosnian Serb entity visited western Herzegovina for the first time after the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Republika Srpska Vice-Premier Savo Loncar, Trade Minister Nikola Kragulj and Chamber of Commerce President Svetislav Mudrenovic discussed future cooperation with the leadership of the Siroki Brijeg-based meat-processing factory "Lijanovici". Mudrenovic stressed great possibilities for cooperation in agriculture and farming. One should put the war behind and turn to private entrepreneurship with the aim of preventing the emigration of people from Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kragulj said. The Bosnian Serb delegation was welcomed by Western Herzegovina Canton Prefect Jozo Maric, who supported the idea of promoting economic cooperation between Croat parts of the Federation and the Bosnian Serb entity.
