In the framework of the project "European Affairs Training for Public Administration in Bosnia and Herzegovina" an expert from Slovenian Veterinary Administration will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a three-day visit. The purpose of his cooperation with the Bosnian authorities is to review and coordinate their phyto-sanitary legislation with European legislation.
