The Program of Post-Investment Support to Investors (Aftercare) was launched by FIPA in 2013 with the help of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), member of the World Bank, establishing institutional cooperation at all levels of governments through the Network for Cooperation. The purpose of establishing the Network is to create a mechanism for identification and resolution as fast as possible of outstanding issues of investors in order to enable a growth and development of companies in our country, and thus to contribute to the sustainable economic development of local community. Every year the Network for Cooperation is getting new members.

"The representatives of the Network for Cooperation regularly visit companies with foreign capital. After identification of problem companies face with, the Network initiate activities, within its competence,  on amendments to the legal solutions in order to resolve outstanding issues," explains Gordan Milinić, Director of FIPA. "Since establishing by the end of 2016, members of the Network visited 260 companies, foreign investors, who invested so far in our country 3 billion and 725 million KM and employed 30,602 workers. It is encouraging the fact that 68.2% of the total number of visited companies announces reinvestment in the expansion of existing and introduction of new product lines and services, "added at the end Milinić.

Establishing and activating the Council of Investors of FBiH in April this year has further strengthened the capacity and quality of the Network for Cooperation and has established complete coordination and cooperation between institutions of the federal, cantonal and local levels in the field of investment. Supported by the World Bank Group and the British Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is part of the planned improvement of the business climate and competitiveness in the FBiH outlined by the Reform Agenda.

"The Council is composed of representatives of the federal and cantonal ministries, Chamber of Commerce of FBiH, Union of Cities and Municipalities of FBiH and a representative of the Council of Foreign Investors in BiH", said the Minister of Trade in the Government of the Federation and President of the Council Zlatan Vujanović at regular semi-annual meeting of the Network. "With this cooperation we are trying to establish a partnership between all levels of governments in FBiH, to strengthen dialogue through operational work on specific problems. We want also to speed up the reform of the business environment by simplifying and automating business registration, to accelerate procedures for obtaining permits, to facilitate exports through continued reforms and strengthening quality control harmonized with EU requirements. To protect investors in BiH and their reinvestments, we need better laws and practices, "concluded Vujanović.
