OXFAM recently launched the project “Goražde – Zone of Improved Business” with the aim of improving the conditions of small and medium-sized enterprises. Rasim Tulumović, leader of the project says that the business center achieved great results in a short time.
“We are satisfied both financially and in terms of the number of people who have visited us, as well as with the number of events that have been realized. We already have about a thousand visitors and significant activities and training programs” says Tulumović.
Big plans
In addition to conference rooms, the premises of the Association of Employers of BPC, the Tourist Board, Chamber of Commerce Chamber of BPK and “Old Crafts” are found within the business centre which offers many opportunities in the aim of improving the business environment.
“We will work intensively on opening the Start Up Center in cooperation with Aldi and a modern training center. We are trying to organize a business investment conference in April next year, so everything we do is in order to make this great event possible, which will open a new port of development of BPK,” says Rasim Tulumović.
The “Goražde – Zone of Improved Business” is worth about a million KM. The EU has approved 440,547 euros for its opening, the municipality and the Government of BPK invested 20,000 euros, while the rest is funded by the organization OXFAM. Building this Business Centre is only a part of the overall project that will be completed by March 2017.
“The street will be partially reconstructed. We are planning to open a modern tourist info center, the opening of the exhibition that we call ”House of the trade”. This can be a great basis for the establishment of ethnological collections of the future museum in Goražde,” explains Tulumović.
In this regard preparations have already begun, working on equipping the Bosnian rooms, issuing Profile old trades in Gorazde, and in preparing a history of the old crafts in regional segments. Historical exhibition of Gorazde preparation Zilka Kujundzic Vejzagić that the entire working life as an archaeologist.
“I will do an exhibition that is quite historically far away from all that is happening today. Through history I’ll try to show what a real craftsman is, what the first craftsman managed to do through a long history and how it actually contributed to the development of civilization and culture, not only in Goražde but in general. My work will relate mainly to photos. Through words and pictures I will try to explain the value of the creative man who made the first tool,” says Zilka Kujundžić- Vejzagić, archaeologist.
Bosnian room
Ethnologist Svetlana Bojić will provide information on the old crafts that were once in Goražde.
“My task is to make a shorter informatory with the local community, with the help of colleagues Zilka Kujundžić and Amra Mađarević. I will prepare a text about Goražde and places where there once were artisans. This [city] used to be a gem, the old bazaar was demolished in the period after World war II. This area was destroyed showed where Goražde was, between east and west. I’ll give one suggestion about dividing crafts, a book in which we find all information about crafts from the traditional to the services and handicrafts, a list of all artists, their names and their products, then one image and text collection” says Svetlana Bojić.
A special decor is expected the room that will be a permanent exhibition in the business center and it is a traditional Bosnian room that is characteristic of this part of our country.
“One room in this wonderful area will be furnished in the traditional Bosnian style. The Bosnian room will time be an exhibition and function space at the same. Unfortunately, the room won’t be big enough to show all the richness of our culture, considering that our history is very turbulent but rich since the Middle Ages, through the Ottoman empire, to the Austro-Hungarian period and the former Yugoslavia, all of these left a mark on the culture of living” says Amra Mađarević, orientalist.
