“You have followed the path of BiH for many years and you were always available when it came to the further progress of bilateral development cooperation that, during your leadership there was significant progress, both in terms of financial and technical cooperation. BiH citizens and the BiH Council of Ministers are very thankful to you because of that’’, said Bevanda in an address to a farewell meeting with Leo Kreuz.

These are, above all, the rehabilitation of the energy sector, water supply and canalization, wind farm Herzegovina-Mesihovina and wind farms in the RS.
Kreuz said that cooperation on the projects was particularly successful.
“In the last 14 years we have managed to find a path together and people who were ready to alighn their interests and to go through the realization of projects together that are important for all BiH citizens. This was an added motivation for us and for you’’, said Kreuz, who takes over responsibility of the Executive Director in the Inter-American Bank for Development (IBD) in Washington from 1 June.
