CEREMONY OPENED 18TH ECONOMY FAIR TEŠANJ – BIH

TEŠANJ, SEPTEMBER 25 (ONASA) – The Republic of Indonesia is a partner country, and the City of Cazin is a partner city of this year’s 18th international economic fair Tešanj – BiH, which was officially opened today in Matuzići (Doboj Jug Municipality). The fair brought together 611 exhibitors from 15 countries.
The organizer of this fair, which closes on September 28, is the traditional Association of Businessmen “Biznis centar” Jelah-Tešanj.
The president of that association, Saća Prnjavorac, greeted officials of all levels of government from Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad, as well as exhibitors, guests and visitors to the fair, which is held on about 25,000 square meters of exhibition space, of which the internal exhibition space is about 7,000 square meters in size.
Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives of the PSBiH Denis Zvizdić emphasized that the Tešanje fair continued to grow and became “an unavoidable destination on the map of business fairs in BiH, the region and beyond”.
Zvizdić underlined that it is necessary to ensure political stability and commitment to economic reforms, as well as economic integration with the countries of the Western Balkans region and the continuation of the path towards full European integration, which “requires serious structural, economic and other reforms “, but also offers numerous chances for stability and progress.
– In this process, you businessmen can play an equally significant, and perhaps even more significant role than ministers or parliamentarians. You have enough knowledge and experience, you know exactly what you want, you know what are the best practices and the most effective solutions.
Today, the Tešanj Fair is one of the best models for presenting the economy of BiH and showing its strength and commitment to regional and international cooperation – said Helez, who added that this year’s fair comes at a very important moment, in which BiH opened negotiations with the EU and made a significant step towards EU integration.
Indonesian Ambassador to BiH Roem Kono reminded that this year’s participation of his country at the fair in Tešnje coincides with the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between that country and BiH.
Today’s meeting is the first step to open up an opportunity for businessmen from BiH, to discuss everything and to get to know the potential that Indonesia has – said Kono. He emphasized that they want to strengthen cooperation in all sectors.
He says that they are particularly interested in cooperation in the field of infrastructure, dedicated industry and technology transfer. The Minister of Economy of the Republic of Serbia, Adriana Mesarović, also expressed her desire to develop cooperation with entrepreneurs from the Tešnja region and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The central theme of the fair, about which a panel discussion will be organized, will be carbon dioxide emissions in export products from Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the fair, the Chamber of Commerce of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and JP Autoceste FBiH will also organize panel discussions from their fields. (end)
