Emphasizing that there are many high quality companies in BiH that strive to get on the European market, Köpruner said that BiH employees should be given more understanding from the politics.
“Politics are quite a major problem for us and I think we should unite and make the people in politics aware of that fact, and kindly ask them to help us become more competitive on the market, instead of increasing our unplanned expenses which are now paid almost on everyday basis,” Köpruner said.
