24 September 2020

On 24th of September 2020, Mr. Haris Magrdžija, CHD President and Mr. Abdulmalik Begović, CHD Secretary General visited SERDA - Sarajevo Economic Region Development Agency, and discussed on humanitarian and development projects with Mr. Harun Rizvanbegović, Head of Sector for Professional Development in SERDA. It was expressed mutual interest for joint projects and activities in the future.

In an effort to overcome the numerous social and economic problems that Bosnia and Herzegovina faced in the post-war period, local communities, with the support of the international community, launched an initiative to recover and stimulate economic development. The result of this initiative is to start the process of economic regionalization, by establishing the Office for Coordination and Monitoring the Implementation of the Project "Sarajevo Economic Region" (SER). The Office, which was established in 2001, was an administrative and legal framework for the realization of initial activities in the realization of the concept of economic reintegration and development of the SER.

In May 2003, the SER Office expanded to the Sarajevo Regional Development Agency (SERDA). Today, SERDA is well known as successful grantee of various EU funds.
