The boiler situation on the domestic political scene is negatively maintained on foreign investments, but also on exports of goods from BiH.
They say that from the business community, from where they say that the throwing of poison arrows must stop because it endangers the economic environment.
“Of course what happens is creating insecurity, not only investors, but also to all the customers. Any customer contract with BiH is now in the dilemma. And not to talk about investors who would like to do something in BiH,” he said for Independent newspaper Adnan Smailbegović, President of the FBiH Employers’ Association.
He adds that he understands that politicians fight for some positions, but in public, such halabuka should not be made.
“There was one situation when we wrote a public statement a few years ago, they called our politicians to sit down, talk, they are quarreling, but that they should try not to make a pump,” Smailbegović pointed out.
Dragutin Škrebić, President of the Employers of the Textile and Leather and Processing Industry of the Republika Srpska, says the problems already causes the situation in Europe and the world.
“Riots, wars and sanctions have reduced the EU consumption, and that is our market, which is extremely difficult, we become a risky area and affects the reduced number of orders,” said Škrebić for “independent newspapers”.
It was added, felt in all branches, and in the textile and shoemaker industry, especially.
“I see that in the wood processor of the disaster. We need to talk about the crisis that certainly awaits us. Nobody does, we are a beating empty straw, no-one-to-school.
In the agency for improving foreign investments in BiH (FIPA), political stability is the basic precondition for attracting foreign investment, because no one wants to invest their money into political unstable countries.
“We are witnessing permanent turmoils when it comes to policies in BiH. We cannot even expect a significant increase in foreign investment until the political situation is more stable,” they say from FIPA.
As they add, what encourages them “is the country’s European perspective and initiative needed on that path, which enable approximation to the standards and values of the European Union.”
“This process is not only a political goal, but is the opportunity to improve the economy, judiciary, the other key sectors. Therefore, BiH can expect increased interest in foreign investors for investors and new investments,” allegations for independent newspapers from FIPA.
