Konjic, September 9, 2024 – The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elmedin Konaković, visited the defense industry company IGMAN d.d. today in Konjic.

During the meeting with the management of IGMAN, the importance of a strong domestic defense industry capable of meeting the demands of the international market was emphasized, as well as the role of strong and efficient diplomacy, which should act as a service to domestic companies in foreign markets.

“This is the first official visit to the IGMAN defense industry factory in Konjic, which exports nearly 100% of its products to foreign markets. Besides the fact that the company operates stably and has an important economic and social role, I am especially pleased with the information that the factory has the potential to expand its capacities and that there are opportunities for a larger presence in certain markets as well as opportunities to enter new ones. In this regard, the Ministry I head will fully utilize its competencies to facilitate the company’s operations in targeted markets through a more engaged diplomatic approach,” stated Minister Elmedin Konaković during his visit.

During the meeting, Acting Director of IGMAN, Adnan Prevljak, informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs about the challenges the factory faces in its operations and current issues related to military production and the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Our goal is to have quality and efficient relations with all government institutions on whose resources we rely in our operations. A functional state apparatus is the foundation of the economic development, so today’s visit by the Minister of Foreign Affairs was used to discuss a range of topics within the jurisdiction of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina that are of crucial importance to our business,” said Acting Director of IGMAN, Adnan Prevljak.
