is one of the main advantages for investing in BiH.
The meeting was also focused on business conditions in
BiH and it was concluded that the IT sector has great potential and positively

The IT sector of BiH has the potential to be the
leading industry of the BiH economy, and this has been recognized by many investors
of BiH, which is confirmed by the fact that the number of registered companies
in this sector is growing day by day.
