the Board of Governors of the EBRD, the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, took off yesterday and will
bring together about 3,000 participants, including businessmen,
finance, economy and treasury ministers, as well as other senior
government officials, and investors. The objective of the
conference, said Bosnian Prime Minister Denis Zvizdic, is to
strengthen the EBRD investment in the private sector. Numerous
events focusing on different issues will be held on the
sidelines, such as the one on "boosting growth" in the countries
of the Western Balkans. The leaders of Montenegro, Albania,
Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will
discuss some key issues.
The signing of some important deals regarding infrastructure
projects, primarily for 5C corridor, related to the energy
sector, digital infrastructure and the development of SMEs, is
also expected. In 2018 the EBRD invested in the six Western
Balkan countries 1.1bn euros in 67 different projects aiming to
help these countries achieve higher standards ahead of their
forthcoming EU membership. (ANSA).
