Bihać, Banja Luka, 19 - 20 December 2014, CEP concluded assistance to veterinary laboratories in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the year 2014 with the awarding ceremony for participants of training.
The ceremony at JU Veterinary Institute Bihać was also attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, His Excellency mag. Iztok Grmek. In his speech he highlighted the importance of raising the safety and quality of food produced in BiH in accordance with EU standards. He stressed the importance of such co-operation between two countries for the development of the food industry and the economy in BiH.
The 30-day laboratory training of fifteen laboratory analysts was conducted by Dr. Vesna Cerkvenik Flajs. The training took place at the laboratory JU Veterinary Institute Bihać and JU Veterinary Institute of the Republic of Srpska "Dr. Vaso Butozan "in Banja Luka.
The »JU Veterinary Laboratory in Bihac« was the subject of training of analytical methods for determination of metabolites of veterinary drugs called nitrofurans in eggs with ELISA tests.
The laboratory in Bihac is the first veterinary laboratory in BiH, which is trained for analytics metabolites of nitrofurans in eggs. These compounds were so far tested in foreign laboratories. The introduciton and validation of analytical method was part of this year training. Appropriate documentation was also prepared for accreditation according to the international standard ISO 17025. In the context of the same project the staff at JU Veterinary Institute of the Republic of Srpska "Dr. Vaso Butozan in Banja Luka was trained for the introduction and validation of analytical methods for determination of tetracycline antibiotics in milk by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS / MS).
CEP as part of its program activities in the context of the establishment of EU standards in the field of safety and quality of food, according to the standards of the EU is working with laboratories in BiH for the third consecutive year. Overall, the institutions in BiH were trained for seven new analytical methods for determining residues in foodstuffs of animal origin with the help of Slovenian development cooperation. The project helped Bosnia and Herzegovina in establishing standards of the European Union in the field of safety and quality of food. Food control according to international standards is of strategic importance for each country in order to ensure quality food consumers and public health, but also in order to ensure exports to the demanding foreign markets (EU).
Zaključek usposabljanja v veterinarskih laboratorijih BiH v letu 2014
Bihać, Banja Luka, 19-20 december 2014, s podelitvijo certifikatov udeležencem usposabljanja v okviru projekta CEP "Pomoč Bosni in Hercegovini pri vzpostavitvi standardov Evropske unije na področju varne in kakovostne prehrane" se je uspešno zaključil projekt usposabljanja veterinarskih laboratorijev v BiH.
Podelitve na JU Veterinarski zavod Bihać se je udeležil tudi veleposlanik RS v Bosni in Hercegovini Njegova ekselenca mag. Iztok Grmek. V svojem nagovoru je izpostavil pomen dviga varnosti in kvalitete proizvedene hrane v BiH v skladu z EU standardi, ter tovrstnega sodelovanja Republike Slovenije in Bosne in Hercegovine za razvoj živilske industrije in gospodarstva v BiH. V okviru projekta je bilo v l. 2014 s pomočjo dr. Vesne Cerkvenik Flajs skupaj izvedeno 30-dnevno laboratorijsko izobraževanje skupno petnajstih laboratorijskih analitikov, ki je potekalo v laboratoriju JU Veterinarski zavod Bihać in v JU Veterinarski institut Republike Srpske "Dr. Vaso Butozan" v Banja Luki.
V Bihaću je bila predmet usposabljanja analizna metoda določevanja metabolitov veterinarskih zdravil z imenom nitrofurani v jajcih z ELISA testom. JU Veterinarski laboratorij v Bihaću je prvi analizni veterinarski laboratorij v BiH, ki se je usposobil za analitiko metabolitov nitrofuranov v jajcih. Omenjene spojine so do zdaj za potrebe državnega nadzora nad ostanki v živilih živalskega izvora BiH testirali v tujih laboratorijih. V okviru usposabljanja je bila uvedena in validirana analizna metoda v skladu s standardi EU. Pripravljena je bila tudi ustrezna dokumentacija, ki bo služila za akreditacijo po mednarodnem standardu ISO 17025. V Banja Luki so se v okviru istega projekta na JU Veterinarski institut Republike Srpske "Dr. Vaso Butozan" usposobili iz uvedbe in validacije analizne metode določevanja antibiotikov tetraciklinov v mleku s tekočinsko kromatografijo s tandemsko masno spektrometrično detekcijo (LC-MS/MS).
CEP v sklopu svojih programskih aktivnosti v okviru vzpostavitev standardov EU na področju varne in kakovostne prehrane po standardih EU sodeluje z laboratoriji v BiH že tretje leto. Skupno so se zavodi v BiH v tem času s slovensko pomočjo usposobili za sedem novih analiznih metod za določanje ostankov v živilih živalskega izvora ter tako pomagali državi BiH pri vzpostavitvi standardov Evropske unije na področju varne in kakovostne prehrane. Nadzor živil po mednarodnih standardih je strateškega pomena za vsako državo zaradi zagotavljanja kvalitetne hrane potrošnikov in javnega zdravstva, obenem pa tudi zaradi zagotavljanja izvoza na zahtevna tuja tržišča (EU).
Projekt CEP financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje.
