SARAJEVO, October 18 (FENA) - Chairman of the Council of Ministers of BiH Denis Zvizdić met on Capitol Hill in separate meetings with Congresswomen Ann Wagner and Eddie Bernice Johnson, as well as with Senator Benjamin L. Cardin.

They discussed bilateral relations and US support for Bosnia and Herzegovina's European and NATO path. 

Chairman Zvizdić expressed his appreciation for all that the United States has done for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past and said that Euro-Atlantic integration remains Bosnia and Herzegovina's most important foreign policy priority. He stressed that internal reforms are being undertaken to create a favorable business environment, accelerate economic development and attract investment.

He informed Congresswomen Wagner and Bernice Johnson and Senator Cardin that Bosnia and Herzegovina is actively participating in all regional projects contributing to economic development, as well as peace and stability and said that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a factor of stability in the Balkans. He stressed the importance of respecting the rule of law, territorial integrity and implementation of reforms necessary for democratization of society in BiH and its prosperity.

During the meeting, US officials stressed their commitment that the United States will remain present in BiH as a firm and committed friend in reform processes and Euro-Atlantic integration.

Chairman Zvizdić said that friendly political relations should be accompanied by intensive economic cooperation and stressed that one of the important projects is opening of a direct flight between the two countries.

He said that St. Louis is home to some 70,000 US citizens, originally from BiH, and it is reason for establishing a direct flight between Sarajevo and St. Louis. They agreed that this line would not only have economic significance but would also be a message and a clear sign of friendship and rapprochement of BiH and the US.

Zvizdić said that BiH is focused on freedom, democracy, economic prosperity, as well as Euro-Atlantic integration and that this is a confirmation that BiH will continue to be the best US partner in the Balkans in the future, stated the Council of Ministers of BiH.
