BH REPS PRESENT GUARANTEES FOR INVESTING IN BOSNIA

( Editorial: --> 3628 ) ZAGREB, Nov 25 (Hina) - Representatives of the Bosnian government's Investment Guarantee Agency on Tuesday held a lecture in Zagreb on guarantees from war and political risks to foreign companies and banks financing investment in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Bosnian government established the Agency more than a year ago, in cooperation with the World Bank. According to marketing director Mirsad Mesinovic, the Agency had been established with the aim to provide conditions which would guarantee safe business conditions to foreign investors, without risk of war, and to attract investors into Bosnia, a "high risk country". The Agency's deputy general director, Vlatko Tvrtkovic, said the World Bank had invested 16 million German marks in the Agency, whose capital amounted to about 40 million German marks. With assistance from the international community, the Agency was preparing new laws on Bosnia's economy which should be adopted early next year, Tvrtkovic said. (hina) ha jn 252016 MET nov 97
