The Logistima BiH Consortium today expects a clear and concrete response from the competent institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with the PROCLAMATION of the carriers of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the demands that have been made public for a long time.
“We ask an open question: have we received a concrete answer or a credible request sent to the institutions of the Republic of Croatia by our competent institutions? Isn’t it possible that the carriers of Bosnia and Herzegovina have at least the same status as the carriers from Serbia have today, who have the full support of their institutions and economic structures?”
For Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia is one of the most important economic partners and neighbors with which we share intensive trade and transport flows. This is precisely why we expect a fair, correct and equal relationship, based on good neighborly relations and common interests of the economy”, the Consortium states.
They expect answers to very clear questions from the competent institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina:
– In addition to the expressed concerns, have specific activities been undertaken to solve the problems faced by domestic carriers?
– Have the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina made a clear and credible request to the Republic of Croatia that BiH carriers have the same treatment and fair access to the market?
“Today we will present individual responsibilities to the public, because numerous promises were made during the past period, while concrete results are missing. It does not matter whether the talks were conducted publicly or behind closed doors. What is important is the result – the same fair and correct attitude towards the carriers of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We remind you that producers, exporters, traders and importers in Bosnia and Herzegovina rely to a large extent on domestic transport companies. Those who do not understand this will soon feel the consequences in supply chains and in the overall economy of the country. We expect a response from the competent institutions within the day. Then it will be clear whether the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina has the strength and will to defend more than 20,000 workers employed in the logistics and road transport sector – or we will be left to our own devices. Good neighborly relations and stable logistics flows have no alternative”.
That is why they once again call on the competent institutions: it is time for answers and concrete actions.
Tonight, the Crisis Staff of the Plenum of the Logistics Consortium of Bosnia and Herzegovina will meet, together with the regional coordinators, where a detailed analysis of the previous activities will be carried out and decisions will be made on the next steps on behalf of the transport sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They say that they are now on the move of the institution.
“Carriers and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina expect the state to show responsibility and determination in protecting its own economy,” they say Patria.
