SARAJEVO, June 5 (FENA) - A delegation of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Czech Republic Parliament is visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the first working meeting held in Sarajevo with members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly.

"It was a very fruitful meeting, I would even dare say - one of the most effective ones," Nermina Kapetanović, deputy chair of the Commission, told reporters.

She said that the guests from this advanced and successful country that strongly supports the BiH's road to the European Union within the framework of the Visegrad Group and respects BiH's sovereignty and territorial integrity had expressed great interest in continuing the friendly relations between the two countries and cooperation in many fields.

Ms. Kapetanović, as well as Lubomir Zaorálek, who leads the guest delegation in a visit to BiH, agreed that both countries had an interest in promoting trade. Growth was recorded last year and commodity exchange is currently around 300 million euros annually, but according to Mr. Zaorálek, still very low.

Mr. Zaorálek believes that the mixed BiH-Czech Economic Commission, formed in 2012, which has only met once, could also work on creating a favorable business environment in BiH. He welcomed the initiative, which Ms. Kapetanović also spoke of, to continue the work of this commission, which could cooperate in many areas "because the Czech Republic has a lot to offer".

The process of forming a new government is currently underway in the Czech Republic, Mr. Zaorálek said, expressing his hope that, following the formation of new government in BiH after the forthcoming general elections in the country, the two countries would work on strengthening economic cooperation.

"Bosnia and Herzegovina is among the priorities and we would be happy to develop economic relations. I hope that this visit will contribute to it," said the chairman of the Foreign Policy Committee of the Czech Parliament.
