Rusmir Hrvić awarded "Entrepreneur of the Year" at 10th SBF

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - For the fourth year in a row, the „Sarajevo Business Bridge Awards“ is an integral part of the Sarajevo Business Forum activities, aiming to develop the regional business environment and support new ideas, as well as successful companies and individuals.

At today's awarding of prestigious regional recognitions, in the category „Entrepreneur of the Year“, the award went to Rusmir Hrvić, President of the Management Board of AS Holding. The entrepreneur who manages a group producing around 2000 products and owning well-known Bosnian brands such as Zlatna džemva, Tops, Oaza, Maza, and many others, received the award with great gratitude.

„I do not hide my satisfaction and I am very proud of the fact that what I have been doing with my team for years has been recognized and awarded by qualified experts who have made a significant contribution in their fields of expertise. This recognition is not just for me, but for all my employees who work hard and achieve outstanding business results. When Klas was declared business of the year at SBF, I was the director of that company. Today, I lead AS Holding, a company that grows and develops together with Bosnia and Herzegovina, to which we owe the most, but also together with our region where we live and do business. We are aware that we can only grow together. We need political stability, peace, and agreement above all, and we entrepreneurs will make the Balkans the best place in the world. At least here, in unity in diversity, we have enough intelligence, courage, and creativity to succeed in this“, emphasized Hrvić.

The criteria for evaluation were leadership values and abilities, leadership process and procedures, contributions to success and sustainability, as well as positive social impact and ethical approach to business.
