The Ambassador Rayabi said that after a long period of sanctions opportunities for economic cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina are opening, particularly with the private sector, and that Iranian companies are interested in investing in energy, agriculture, mining, metal and tourism sector and auto industry. They are also interested in participating in trade fairs organized in BiH.

He stressed the fact that there are great possibilities for cooperation in the field of tourism due to the fact that 5 million Iranians annually visit only Istanbul.

He also mentioned that the Iranians are waiting for 45 days to obtain the BiH visa, while they got Schengen visa for 7 days.

Considering the expressed interest in investing in BiH, the Director Milinić promised that the FIPA representatives will prepare all the necessary information about BiH, its potentials and investment opportunities that they will deliver them to the Embassy of Iran, and they will be available to all potential investors.

FIPA will also inform the Embassy of the planned fairs in BiH in order that Iranian companies could apply for participation.
