In 2008. foreign investment in Bosna and Herzegovina 700 million euros

http://www.travelphotoguide.com/photos/bosnia_and_herzegovina/sarajevo_downtown/bosnia_and_herzegovina_sarajevo_downtown.jpg
In Bosnia and Herzegovina during 2008. despite a number of unfavorable circumstances recorded inflow of 700 million euros of foreign direct investment.

Achieved the level of foreign direct investment can be considered satisfactory, especially taking into account the positive structure, the main investment in the manufacturing sector (49 percent), followed by commerce (25 percent), services (13 percent), banking sector (8 percent), and high participation grenfield investment, etc.

The largest investor is Slovenia with 179,999,065 euros, and then followed by Austria with 151,056,374 euros and Croatia to 70,369,630 euros.

Taking into account the overall world economic trends, as well as business and investment environment in our country, we come to conclusion that the overall environment for foreign investment in 2008. was considerably more complex and expensively compared with 2007. year when the UN made the influx of foreign investment amounting to 1.62 billion euros.

FIPA in 2008. The successfully implemented a greater number of important projects and events including the Crans Montana Forum, which represented one of the most important political and economic events in our country, and the issuance of a new promotional films and videos "Enjoy Business Bosnia and Herzegovina", which are promoted at the end of November .

"World public showed that B & H offers a favorable environment for the safe and successful business, as well as a wide range of opportunities for investment in different industrial and service activities, quality and skilled workforce, stressing that this is a country that is open to foreign investment, the introduction and application of new technologies, and that is an ideal destination where you can go out to new markets, which are FIPA and.

This approach also intend to keep this year, in which we enter aware of the complexity of our position, but without the pessimism.

Although BiH economy is not directly affected recession, and that the global financial crisis has not produced significant negative effects in the financial sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina, owing to the isolation of BiH market, and thanks to the measures the Central Bank of BiH, the recession of world economy will surely have an impact on the BiH economy, the slowdown of economic activities particularly in the first months of 2009. and thus an investment in our country.

All this indicates that the FIPA to be exposed to new challenges, and will operate in much more complex conditions in relation to 2008.

To these negative impacts eliminate or alleviate the FIPA and stressing that the necessary designed and coordinated action of all relevant institutions and businesses in the country, and that governments at all levels adopt measures which would be to promote economic activities.

Also considered necessary to speed up the process of privatization, which are in deadlock, define the promotion of the manufacturing sector and employment, with the use of financial resources, investment-development banks and extract significant resources for the promotion of the country and generally invest in institutional marketing, with the creation of attractive investment opportunities and projects for potential foreign investors.

"If it is successfully realized, there is a possibility that the turbulent world economic trends and prestrojavanja reverse in our favor, given that in every crisis, and a good pass," they say in FIPA.

The Head of Turkish diplomacy has arrived, and a group of Turkish businessmen and business people who will be on the concrete activities of improving cooperation in this field to talk with Bosnian businessmen.

Minister Babacan pointed out that the qualitative contribution to the development of economic relations requires the joint performance of companies and more investment. As a good example of partnership between the Turkish and Bosnian companies said the signing of an agreement between Air Bosnia and Turkish Airlines.

Minister Alkalaj added that it was agreed that certain specific things in the field of enhancing trade cooperation implemented in the meetings of joint commissions and joint committees in the first quarter of this year.

U Sarajevu mirna šetnja i performans umjetnika za podršku Palestini Sarajevo, 17.01.2009

U Sarajevu je održan novi protest protiv nasilja u Palestini, čiji organizatori su bili članovi nekoliko udruženja građana. Centralnim gradskim ulicama, od Velikog parka, gdje je okupljanje počelo, do Baščaršije prodefilovalo je nekoliko stotina građana koji su nosili transparente sa porukama kojima se osuđuje agresija Izraela i pozivaju svjetske sile da zaustave nasilje u pojasu Gaze. "Zaustavite izraelski masakr, zaustavite opsadu Gaze!", "40 posto ubijenih Palestinaca su žene i djeca", "Sjećate li se Sarajeva? Gaza je danas Sarajevo!", samo su neki od transparenata kojima su okupljeni građani iskazali svoj stav prema situaciji u Palestini. Mirna protestna šetnja, čiji cilj je bio još jednom iskazati protivljenje agresiji Izraela nad palestinskim narodom, koja se odvija pred očima cijelog svijeta, okončana je projekcijom kratkog filma o Palestini.
Poruku protiv još jedne agresije koja se odvija pred očima cijelog svijeta uputili su i umjetnici Sarajeva. Uputili su je s mjesta koje će zauvijek opominjati i svjedočiti o ratnom stradanju i bezumlju naše nedavne prošlosti. "Želimo izraziti našu solidarnost s očevima i majkama 300 djece koji su ubijeni u zadnjih 20 dana i više od tisuće djece koji su ranjeni za vrijeme ovog napada. I svim onim koji pate zbog jednog brutalnog i nepotrebnog napada na civilno stanovništvo", poruka je svijetu. Poruka narodu Izraela jeste da zaustave svoju vladu te tako prekinu ratne zločine nad Palestincima.
