Discussions focused on current challenges and future opportunities to strengthen Bosnia and Herzegovina’s financial system, including support for economic recovery and sustainable development, green finance, European integration and joining the SEPA geographical area. The delegation included Elisabeth Vitzthum (EBRD Board Member), Stela Melnic (EBRD Director for Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Tamir Mostarac (Senior Banker), with the EBRD noted as a key institutional partner since 1996 with more than 200 projects implemented. Cooperation priorities highlighted ongoing EBRD-backed work on the WE Finance Code to improve access to finance for women entrepreneurs, particularly women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises, alongside efforts to build gender-sensitive statistics following an EBRD diagnostic mission this year. The update also referenced planned joint activities under the “Women on Boards” project aimed at improving gender equality and women’s representation in management structures.
