Bulgaria's experience in the production of agricultural products and the boosting of tourism are of interest to companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the chairman of the Bosnian Foreign Trade Chamber, Vjekoslav Vuković, who was in Sofia this week, told BTA. 

"We would like to put an emphasis on agricultural production given the great experience that Bulgaria has, bilateral tourism is also of particular interest", he pointed out. 

According to him, Bosnia and Herzegovina has about 1.7 million hectares of arable land, but uses a "much smaller part" of it and has the opportunity to benefit from Bulgarian experience and technologies. 

Vjekoslav Vuković also said that the foreign trade exchange between the two countries was not at a satisfactory level and could be much greater. A Cooperation Council is to be established, which will meet at least once a year in Bosnia and Herzegovina or in Bulgaria.
