In Sarajevo, Tanja Miščević, the Minister for European Integration, and Elvira Habota, the Director of the Directorate for European Integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina, have signed a financial agreement for the new IPA 3 Cross-Border Cooperation Programme between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period 2021-2027.

With the signing of this agreement, an additional 14 million euros funded by the European Union has been made available for projects under this cross-border collaboration. The pertinent ministry announced that the support will focus on empowering youth and fostering their employment opportunities. Additionally, the funds will aid in enhancing tourist capacities and developing a joint tourism offering between the two countries.
