The main objectives of the event are to promote the use of tea and herbs, and to improve business relations and contacts between interested individuals and organizations in this field.

“The focus of this year’s fest is on the cultivation of medicinal plants, in order to preserve the unique biodiversity of BiH,” said Samira Katica-Arnautovic, director of the Festival.
