Bosna Bank International (BBI) has announced the 12th Sarajevo Business Forum (SBF) for May 17th and 18th 2023, in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A meeting place for leading institutional and private business people from all over the world with businessmen and project owners from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Albania.

The twelfth SBF in a row, a prestigious and recognizable platform for business networking and researching investment and business opportunities in the countries of Southeast Europe, is organized aiming to boost economic development of all countries in the region. The event offers to all its participants two days of cross-border experience of interesting panels, discussions, and business networking. With the presence of more than 1,500 domestic, regional and world representatives of governments, ministries, investors, and representatives of business communities coming from around 50 countries around the world, presentations of over 200 investment projects and business opportunities, more than 400 G2G organizations are expected at the 12th SBF /G2B/B2B meetings with the presence of over 200 media representatives from BiH, countries of the region and the world.

Recognizing the importance of the joint performance of countries from the region, Bosna Bank International (BBI), in cooperation with its shareholders and numerous domestic and international partners, started organizational preparations for the upcoming Sarajevo Business Forum – a leading meeting platform that almost always results in new and better investments and it also represents a business base, which can primarily be used by key business decision-makers in the country, as well as all visitors, exhibitors and participants. The SBF will be an excellent opportunity for discussions about the economic environment and the challenges we will face in 2023 as well. The confirmed response of panelists, participants and sponsors promises a high-quality and diverse conference program with research and development presentations from leading companies, especially in the fields of energy efficiency, electromobility, energy storage, and the IT industry. Sustainable business practices are the central pillar of corporate strategies in managing a healthy balance between environmental and economic interests, social responsibility, or diversity.

As part of the 12th SBF 2023, numerous panels are planned with proposed solutions, when it comes to the energy and climate crisis, and on modalities of more successful economic cooperation and ways of encouraging and attracting investments in all countries of the Western Balkans, with the aim of faster economic development. Models of public-private partnerships and investments in key infrastructure areas in the countries of the Western Balkans will also be discussed, as well as better regional cooperation with the aim of creating a more prosperous future. The participants of the SBF will try together to come up with a solution on how, through the removal of trade barriers and better economic – regional connectivity, they can jointly improve the sustainable development of the economies of the Western Balkan countries, better standards of citizens and prevent the departure of people.

During its 12th year of operation, SBF became one of the largest business events in the region and in the Southeast Europe that has a positive impact on building the image of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a destination for investment and economic development.

(source: http://mvteo.gov.ba/Publication/Read/BiH-Velika-Britanija-Trgovinski-Rezim?lang=en) As is well known, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (hereinafter ‘the United Kingdom’) announced its intention to withdraw from the European Union on March 29, 2017 in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. Following the negotiations, the United Kingdom and the European Union reached an Agreement signed by the European Council President Charles Michel and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, in London, on January 24, 2020. According to the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement, the United Kingdom left the European Union at 00:00 CET on January 31, 2020. During the transitional period until December 31, 2020, European legislation continued to apply within and to the United Kingdom, including international treaties concluded by the Union, by the moment of UK exit from the EU. Accordingly, the trade provisions of the Stabilization and Association Agreement between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union have continued to apply regarding the trade between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United Kingdom until the end of the transitional period, i.e. December 31, 2020. Considering that the European Union and the United Kingdom have reached an agreement on trade relations within the framework of the ‘Withdrawal Agreement’, the business community in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other entities concerned regarding the foreign trade regime with the United kingdom, from January 1, 2021 will apply the following: Termination of the provisions of the Stabilization and Association Agreement between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the European Union in trade relations with the United Kingdom which includes the abolition of the preferential status of goods originating in the United Kingdom and the obligation to apply an import duty at the MFN rate for goods imported from the United Kingdom in accordance with the Law on Customs Tariff of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of BiH, 58/12) and The Decision on Determining of the Customs Tariff for 2021 (22nd session of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina held on December 16, 2020). When determining the preferential origin of goods imported from the European Union, the inputs contained in goods originating in the United Kingdom would not accumulate and therefore the provisions for non-preferential origin of goods would apply in accordance with the Law on Customs Policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of BiH, 58/15). Other measures regarding the foreign trade regime to the United Kingdom will be applied in accordance with the most-favored-nation (MFN) principle and with the rules of the World Trade Organization. When exporting to the United Kingdom market, goods originating in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be subject to import duties and internal taxes in accordance with the tariff regime of the United Kingdom. Tariff regime of the United Kingdom with an overview of all customs rates, when imported into the United Kingdom from January 1, 2021 is shown at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-tariffs-from-1-january-2021.
