SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), November 22 (SeeNews) – The Greek government has donated $200,000 (135,000 euro) to contribute to a project of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to build a business park in the northern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, the UNDP’s Bosnian office said.
Srebrenica was the place of massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim boys and men by the Bosnian Serb forces during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia in what was the biggest single bloodshed in Europe after World War II. The war killed more than 100,000 and drove millions from their homes.
“The project’s purpose is to improve the current business climate in the region of Srebrenica by providing services and infrastructure for the development of the private sector,” the UNDP said in a statement.
The business park project will support companies in improving their business skills and in their communication with the local authorities, stimulate investments in infrastructure and promote Srebrenica as an appropriate location for sustainable growth, it said.
Srebrenica is located in the northern part of the Serb Republic, one of the two mini-states in post-war Bosnia. The other is the Muslim-Croat Federation.
