Agreement on cooperation for 80 infrastructure projects in BiH signed

At the end of last year, the BiH Council of Ministers decided on pooling funds with the entity line ministries and the Brčko District Government.

This decision gave a positive result, and today the President of the Commission for Refugees and Displaced Persons of BiH, Davor Čordaš, and the director of the BiH Return Fund, Bojan Ninković signed the cooperation agreements.

Čordas said that they had a much larger number of requests, and they complied with a small number, about 10 percent.

But a bigger problem than the one that is being solved today in the field of communal and social infrastructure is electrification.

Therefore, they discussed this problem as well, to find different solutions, by building solar panels for example, to provide a source of electricity for the returnees.

Within the framework of joint projects at the BiH level, the realization of two important projects, namely the Regional Housing Program and CEV-2, is nearing completion.

Deputy Minister for Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina Dževad Mahmutović reminded that the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as part of its regular project activities, must ensure the implementation of Annex 7 of the Dayton Peace Agreement.

Unfortunately, he said, they were prevented from implementing projects for two years due to the failure to adopt the budget.

Therefore, the BiH Council of Ministers decided on the pooling of funds with the entity line ministries and the Brčko District Government.

“Thus, about 2.5 million KM for 80 projects have been allocated in the Return Fund. A total of 57,000 people will benefit directly from the projects that we signed today, through the infrastructure projects,” Mahmutović emphasized.
