A total of €2.9 million has been allocated for the development of entrepreneurship and economic infrastructure in the cantons of the BiH Federation.
The grant funds are intended for regional self-government units, specifically cantons in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which implement projects within their development plans aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and overall economic growth.
The programme covers the entire Federation of BiH, including Una-Sana, Posavina, Tuzla, Zenica-Doboj, Podrinje, Central Bosnia, Herzegovina-Neretva, West Herzegovina, Sarajevo and Herzeg-Bosnia cantons. These cantons are invited to submit projects that will contribute to the development of their communities.
Funds for the programme come from the Croatian state buget.
Information on the public call, conditions, deadlines, and detailed application instructions are available on the Ministry of Economy's website.
In recent years, the Croatian government has significantly increased support for projects for Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirming its ongoing commitment to strengthening their status.
The Ministry of Economy expects the programme to help create a favourable business environment, support small businesses, generate new jobs, strengthen economic infrastructure, and improve local development capacities.
