The Director of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency of BiH (FIPA) Gordan Milinić talked with the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Greece HE Branko Dokić about the Embassy's plans to organize an investment-business forum BiH-Greece in Athens in May 2018 with the participation of FIPA.

Considering the good political relations between the two countries, but the symbolic economic exchange and the low inflow of Greek investments in BiH, FIPA and the BiH Embassy in Athens will jointly make additional efforts to change this situation for the economic progress of the country and the creation of new jobs for the BiH citizens.

According to the Ambassador, there is interest of Greek investors in the energy sector, tourism, wood sector and agriculture of BiH. Currently, there is a lack of promotional activities to animate the Greek investors to come to BiH, bearing in mind the trend of the growth of Greek investments in Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania and Macedonia.

In order to promote BiH in Greece, the Embassy is working on establishing contacts with the Chamber of Commerce of Greece, professional associations, entrepreneurial associations, the Department of Economic Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece, Greek investors and members of the BH diaspora in this country.

Also, the introduction of charter flights between BiH and Greece in the summer period is being considered in order to increase the growth of the number of tourists, and hence accompanying activities.
