The Ministry of Economy of the Zenica-Doboj Canton and the Commercial Chamber of the ZDK have signed a decision on the realization of the ten-month campaigns “Let’s buy domestic – we will be able to strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina”, as part of the production and producing companies from that canton.
According to the Cantonal Minister of Economy of Samir Šibonjić, they came to these ideas in talks with businessmen and after the analysis of the purchase of products on the market of that canton and BiH.
– We saw that, indeed, it is necessary to get institutionally involved. This is the first time that someone institutionally involved in this campaign, and so far the campaigns of this type are conducted by the citizens’ association. We know that this is very complex, hard and that only firms, without the support of the state and the authorities, cannot lead the campaigns of this type – said Minister Šibonjić.
He stated that a comprehensive campaign should contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the economy of this canton, both in BiH and abroad, but also increasing the number of employees.
– Our firms meet with various challenges. In particular, at the beginning of the year, we had a number of decisions that certainly negatively affected the business of small – smallest companies, and we build special empathy towards them. Here is a clear goal that as many citizens as possible get our message. Yes, when we buy products, to decide on products that are manufactured in our homeland of BiH. In this way, we certainly strengthen our homeland of BiH. Our patriotism is reflected in our fridge – said Sibonjic.
