BiH has used only 95.5 million or 30 percent from 320 million euro in the first two components of the Pre-Accession Assistance Funds / IPA / EU.

Director of the Labor and Employment Agency Adnan Delic said on the eve of the conference entitled "Preparation of the project for use of IPA funds for cross-border cooperation - examples of good practice” the aim was to have these funds available to BiH by 2012.

He emphasized that the agency saw its chance through quality projects to use as much of these funds, adding that at today's conference there was a chance to hear positive experiences of Croatia, and will reach the joint realization of the program which will bring concrete results on the labor market in BiH.

Delic said that the aim of the conference is to connect directors of cantonal employment services, those near border with Croatia, with institutes of neighboring countries and to work on joint projects.
