SARAJEVO, October 29 (FENA) - Sweden is the greatest individual donor to BiH, with numerous development projects in our country, Foreign Minister of Trade and Economic Relations Mirko Šarović said at the meeting with Sweden's newly appointed Ambassador to BiH Johanna Stromquist today.
At the meeting, they discussed the implementation of current development programs, which primarily relate to projects in the field of agriculture and economy, development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and environmental protection.
Thus, among other things, the implementation of the project "Green Economic Development" is underway, aimed at improving energy management in public buildings, which is especially important given that more than 75 percent of public buildings in BiH have inadequate thermal insulation. The importance of the project is also reflected in the solution of various environmental problems associated with increased energy consumption, such as air, water, and climate change.
Minister Šarović thanked the Swedish Ambassador for the continued assistance Sweden provides to BiH and for the country's strong support to Bosnia and Herzegovina's European path, the BiH Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations said.
