FBiH Government Adopts FBiH Budget Rebalance of 5.5 Billion KM

(Patria) - The session of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the 219th regular session, has been announced for today in Sarajevo.

As announced by the Office of the FBiH Government for Public Relations, the session will be attended by the Prime Minister and two Deputy Prime Ministers of the FBiH, while other members of the Government will participate in the session via video link.

The FBiH budget rebalance in the amount of 5.5 billion KM is expected to be adopted at the Government session. The previously adopted Budget was in the amount of over 4.9 billion KM. As Minister Šemsudin Dedić explained yesterday, some previously planned budget items have been reduced, and social categories are maximally protected.

"At the Government session, we will adopt the rebalance of this year's budget, with the budget for agriculture being maintained. These must not be one-off measures; BiH needs to continue with food production because only then can we be less dependent on imports. For years, we have heard criticism about why we provide incentives for dairy farming. If the borders were to close now, we would have enough for our population," said the minister.
