Project financier is the Ministry of Veterans’ Issues of FBiH. Contracts were signed by 21 applicants and total value of the project is 220.000 BAM.
Nezira Topalović, wife of a killed fighter and a mother of three, applied for cultivation of hazelnuts and she received 14.000 BAM for her business.
Contract was also signed by the demobilized fighter Zijad Čamdžić from Zenica, who is a blacksmith. He received 15.000 BAM for procurement of an adequate machine.
“Implementation of this project is very important for my existence, for the future of my children. I would like to thank the Ministry for implementing one such project and I invite other veterans to apply, to ask for this kind of assistance in their business or when they want to launch a business,” Čamdžić said.
Minister of Issues of Veterans and Invalids of the Defense-Liberation War Salko Bukvarević is satisfied with the fact that the unemployment issue is being solved.
“Unemployment of veterans is a burning issue. This is the second stage of the implementation of this employment and self-employment project for veterans through veteran cooperatives. The project has proven to be very successful so far, and we modeled it after a similar program in the European Union. This second stage included veterans from all parts of BiH,” Bukvarević said.
