Bosnia and Herzegovina business sectors face logistical and support challenges

The Foreign Trade Chamber of Bosnia and Herzegovina, acting as the BITNET consortium coordinator for the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), hosted a regional conference focused on business development, innovation, and international cooperation. The event highlighted the role of EEN in supporting companies with digital transformation and market expansion. In the past year, 129 Bosnian companies utilized EEN services, resulting in 32 concluded business contracts.

Separately, the Logistics BiH Consortium and the Association of Employers in FBiH met to address the economic impact of the Schengen 90/180-day rule. Representatives warned that restrictions on the stay of Bosnian drivers in EU countries are making international transport unsustainable. This has led to increased transport costs, as domestic companies must rely on foreign carriers, and is causing capital flight as businesses consider relocating operations outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina to maintain viability.
