Today, contracts were signed in the Ministry of the Zenica-Doboj Canton today with four development agencies – the Zavidović Development Agency (Raz), the Development Agency (TRA) and the Zenica Development Agency (ZEDA).
Agencies were selected through the public invitation to participate in the “Let’s buy domestic – as much as Bosnia and Herzegovina”, and in the realization of activities, a total of 100,000 KM. Each agency will receive 25,000 KM each.
It is a campaign aimed at promoting domestic products and manufacturers, with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of the Zenica-Doboj Canton economy.
– The obligation of all of us is support for the domestic economy. In this way, we can encourage development. The next year will be very challenging, especially for our exporters. So we have to work that what is produced is spent right here, in order to preserve our economy. Ultimately, we should eat what is quality – and homemade food is. This project is extremely important – said Prime Minister ZDK Nezir Pivić.
He added that the aim of the campaign is to reach as many citizens as possible and send a clear message that when we buy, to choose domestic products and thus strengthen our homeland.
The Ministry of Economy of the Zenica-Doboj Canton and the Chamber of Commerce of the ZD, was previously signed by a decision on the realization of the ten-month campaign, within which domestic products and production companies from this canton will be promoted.
As he pointed out the Minister of Economy Samir Šibonjić, the idea for the campaign was created in conversations with businessmen and after the analysis of consumer habits in the canton and the wider.
– This is the first time that such a campaign is institutionally implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina. So far, they have led her citizens’ associations. We believe that the campaign will contribute to the greater competitiveness of our economy, both domestic and foreign markets, and the increase in employment – Minister Šibonjić emphasized.
