Furthermore, the program is intended for implementing measures of disinfection, disinsection and deratization on infected farms and means of transport, as well as education of animal owners and additional training of doctors of veterinary medicine through counseling and seminars.

The purpose of the Program is also to monitor the health safety of food of animal origin in approved and registered facilities, and to implement approved programs and plans whose implementation will provide more detailed information on the presence of animal disease agents and enable timely measures to prevent their spread.

Beneficiaries of the Program are veterinary stations and institutions that, according to the Law on Veterinary Medicine, carry out veterinary activities, and owners of harmlessly disposed animals.

The federal ministries of agriculture, water management and forestry, and finance, each within its scope of authority, are responsible for the implementation of today's Decision.

30th anniversary of the genocide

The Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina unanimously accepted the request for financial support of the Organizing Committee for marking the 30th anniversary of the genocide against Bosniaks of the "UN Safe Area" Srebrenica in the amount of 50,000 KM.

These funds are intended for the costs of program activities that will be financed through the Foundation for marking the anniversary of the genocide of July 11, 1995.

This concerns the implementation of an earlier conclusion of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina which secures additional funds in the amount of 50,000 KM from the FBiH budget for 2025 for direct support to the Organizing Committee for program activities.

The request of the Organizing Committee for assistance in the organization and implementation of the marking of July 11, 1995, the 30th anniversary of the genocide against Bosniaks of the "UN Safe Area" Srebrenica, as well as program activities in holding a two-day conference, was also accepted, and this concerns professional and technical support and human resources, in accordance with the expressed needs of the Organizing Committee.

We remind you, the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina previously gave consent to the Federal Ministry of Displaced Persons and Refugees for concluding a cooperation agreement with the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial Center, Memorial and Cemetery for the victims of the 1995 genocide, to support the Program for marking the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica, in the amount of 500,000 KM.

This agreement was signed at the beginning of May this year.
