TIRANA, April 2 – Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina have agreed to step up economic corporation considering the small size of trade exchanges between the two countries. Speaking in a meeting with his Bosnian counterpart in Tirana, Albanian Economy Minister Edmond Haxhinasto called for intensification of trade exchanges, welcoming Bosnian investments in energy, tourism and agribusiness.
Mirko Sarovic, Bosnia and Herzegovina Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations pointed out there were potentials for greater economic cooperation between the two countries which are part of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA).
