Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borisov is on a two-day visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina and was officially welcomed by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers Dennis Zvizdić.

Former clients of Ljubljanska Banka, which closed its operations in all the other Yugoslav countries in 1991 without repaying the savings of some 300,000 people outside Slovenia, told BIRN that they have still not been reimbursed despite a European Court of Human Rights ruling last year.

Serbia and Bosnia signed four important protocols on Wednesday at their first joint government session in Sarajevo.

The first concerns research into missing persons from the conflict of the 1990s, protection of the historic Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic bridge in Visegrad, eastern Bosia, and stronger cooperation in the telecommunication and environmental sectors.

Security is high in Bosnia surrounding the visit of Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic who was expected in Sarajevo on Tuesday.

He is arriving with a delegation of members of the Serbian government who will participate in a joint session with Bosnia's Council of Ministers on Wednesday.

Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev called on the countries from Southeastern Europe to guarantee the stability of investors in the region.

Plevneliev stated this during his meeting with Denis Zvizdic, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the leaders of the two chambers of the Parliament in Sarajevo on Thursday.

The governments of Serbia and Montenegro and the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina are to sign a new contract soon giving air traffic agency SMATSA  continued control over Bosnian airspace.

Two weeks after Vucic took office as Prime Minister on April 27, he will pay a one-day visit to Sarajevo on Tuesday where he is due to meet Vjekoslav Bevanda, head of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and members of the country's Presidency.

Ahead of the trip, Vucic cited three reasons why he had chosen Bosnia for his first official visit abroad.

Nebojsa Radmanovic, the Serbian member of the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said Serbia's newly appointed Prime Minister will visit Sarajevo at the invitation of the head of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vjekoslav Bevanda.

Radmanovic said the Serbian leader would be welcome in Bosnia, and that his visit should not be marked by controversy.
