I’m glad that Mostar brings people together, the exhibitors, and that the interest and importance of this event is increasing every year. These events are very important because they are sending positive message. I am especially pleased that this year’s partner country is Turkey. Cooperation with Turkey is rising, and there is a will and desire to deepen mutual relations,” said Izetbegovic.
