Strengthening cooperation between SERDA and DEI BiH in focus at Sarajevo meeting

During the meeting, the participants discussed opportunities to enhance cooperation through joint activities aimed at supporting local self-government units, developing project initiatives, and strengthening institutional capacities for the preparation and implementation of projects financed by European Union funds. Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of providing key stakeholders with timely information and training on the opportunities arising from Bosnia and Herzegovina’s European integration process.

The two directors highlighted that successful cooperation between institutions working in the fields of regional development and European integration is an important prerequisite for developing high-quality development projects and ensuring more efficient use of EU funds, thereby directly contributing to the economic and social development of local communities.

The meeting took place in a constructive and collaborative atmosphere, with both sides expressing their readiness to further strengthen cooperation and implement joint initiatives that will contribute to creating new development opportunities for Sarajevo Canton and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Sarajevo Economic Region Development Agency and the Directorate for European Integration will continue to actively cooperate in promoting European values, strengthening development capacities, and creating conditions for the most effective use of available European Union support instruments.
