BANJA LUKA, June 19 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina Staša Košarac believes that there is a need for negotiations with the European Commission to increase quotas for fish exports from BiH to the EU countries.

He said BiH exports about 500 tons of those products, which is not enough.

“We will negotiate about that with the European Commission,” announced Košarac and added that he will initiate negotiations on the export of other goods from BiH.

He added that the best form of protection of domestic production is for BiH to sign international agreements and thus enable the placement of its products on some new markets.

Therefore, he points out, they are also working on signing an agreement with Russia, which would enable better foreign trade operations of domestic companies engaged in the processing of fish, as well as other types of meat.

“We will do everything so that our producers can place their goods in the EU, CFFTA and some other markets such as China, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and the like, with which we reach international agreements,” said the BiH Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations.

He also mentioned that domestic products, which are exported, should be harmonized with international and other standards.

Košarac, after visiting Banja Luka company "Tropik fishing – Janj fishery" today, pointed out that the company is recognizable on the domestic and foreign markets, because it exports about 70 percent of the total fish production in BiH to EU countries and the CEFTA market.

Director of the company "Tropik fishing – Janj fishery", Zoran Tepić, confirmed that all produced goods have been exported to foreign markets even in these difficult times, during the coronavirus pandemic.
