German Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina has allocated an additional amount of 50,000 Euro to help the country mitigate the consequences of the crisis caused by the coronavirus epidemic.

Head of the World Vicion for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Larisa Klepac, and German Ambassador Margret Ueber signed on Wednesday a contract that will provide support to 111 families in eight local communities.

The funds will help those who lost their jobs and incomes as a consequence of the crisis.

More than 50 families will get greenhouses as well as other agricultural devices.

The ‘Zdrava malina’ company from the central town Gornji Vakuf-Uskoplje will receive financial support within this programme to build a bridge that will connect the farming land with the villages.

Lukavac-based ‘Simentalac’ company in the north of the country will get support for production of dairy products.
