The aim of the proposed project is food control system reform so the system, trough private sector’s participation, could obtain a form like in the majority of economically developed countries. There is a great
demand for the high quality products from BiH, however the demand is not fully satisfied due to heavy pressure on the existing food product control. Cooperation between the state bodies and private sector in this field would allow Bosnia and Herzegovina significantly to increase the exported food amount.
Dr Silajdžić also met with Dr Kenneth Keller, the John Hopkins University Bologna Center Director and talked about the possibility of sponsoring BiH students at the postgraduate studies. Dr Keller stressed out that John Hopkins, one of the leading American universities, has a policy of focusing on certain countries while selecting the scholarship receivers and would gladly direct that focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina, considering the importance of highly educated personnel on the way to NATO and EU. Dr Silajdžić emphasized that he would take steps for identifying potential students and would ask domestic companies for help in aim of receiving wider representation of BiH students at John Hopkins.
Dr Silajdžić also talked with the representatives of the tourist sector in USA that informed him about the increasing interest of American citizens in tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. That is confirmed in a series of articles on Bosnia and Herzegovina as an attractive tourist destination that were published in the leading US traveling magazine Travel and Leisure and in New York Times during the last couple of weeks.
Dr Silajdžić has departed to St. Louis where he will make an address tonight at the formal dinner on occasion of the 13th traditional gathering of the North American Bosniac Congress and will hold a series of meetings with the Diaspora representatives.
