Bosnian leaders to pay official visit to Turkey

Bosnia and Herzegovina's Presidential Council members will pay an official visit to Turkey on Thursday upon the invitation of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Thursday's visit is going to be the first since Chairman of the Council and the Serb member Milorad Dodik and Bosniak member Sefik Dzaferovic were elected last October.

Meanwhile, the Croat member Zeljko Komsic will not be able to travel due to his health problems.

Economic, trade and infrastructure projects as well as bilateral relations will be discussed during the visit, according to a statement.

Information received from diplomatic sources revealed the focal point of the visit is the revised free trade agreement and the Sarajevo-Belgrade Highway Project supported by Turkey.

The Presidential Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina has three members, representing Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. The members are elected for a period of four years and rotate every eight months.
