During his stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić met in Banja Luka with Prime Minister of Republika Srpska Radovan Višković.

Prime Minister Krivokapić expressed satisfaction with the visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina and pointed out that the two-day visit to that country was extremely successful. He said that the fact that the first official bilateral visit in the region indicates the importance that Montenegro attaches to cooperation with neighbours, in order to achieve the set foreign policy priorities, among which relations with neighbours and regional cooperation occupy a significant place.

Prime Minister Višković thanked the Prime Minister of Montenegro for the visit. He said that foreign trade can be significantly improved, saying that economic ties are a precondition for better cooperation.

"Until now, the cooperation was more at the local level, and now we have cooperation between the two governments that we did not have before. Our fraternal ties are centuries-old, and that obliges us even more to continue to cherish what our ancestors did," said Višković.

Prime Minister Višković thanked the Government of Montenegro for abolishing the toll on the Meljine – Petijevići toll.

"Borders must not be a barrier for tourism and mutual cooperation," Višković said.

The officials exchanged opinions on infrastructure projects that need to be implemented in the coming period in order to create conditions for more dynamic economic cooperation, where, as they assessed, there is significant room for improvement. The meeting concluded that Montenegro and Republika Srpska are determined to create all preconditions in the coming period for trade cooperation in the region to gain new momentum, and to create conditions for better regional connections in areas of mutual interest.
