The delegation of Sarajevo Canton, consisting of the Minister of Economy Zlatko Mijatović, Acting Director of Sarajevo International Airport Sanin Ramezić, Director of the Airport Services Sector Vedrana Vikić Musić, and representatives of the Tourist Board of Sarajevo Canton, and supported by the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Spain, H.E. Vesna Andrea Zaimović, paid a return visit to Girona (Spain). The visit was held as a continuation of the cooperation initiated in April this year, when a delegation from Girona visited Sarajevo on the occasion of establishing the first direct air route between the two cities.
During the stay of the Sarajevo Canton delegation in Girona, a comprehensive presentation of the tourism offer of Sarajevo Canton and the destination brand Visit Sarajevo was held, presented by Faruk Čaluk from the Sarajevo Canton Tourist Board. The presentation attracted great interest from the attending partners in the tourism and aviation sectors, further confirming the potential of this route for strengthening tourist flows between the two regions. In addition to Sarajevo Canton, we also provided an opportunity to the Tourist Board of the City of Bihać to showcase the beauty of Bosnia and Herzegovina by promoting its tourism products and potentials.
As part of the visit, a press conference was held at which representatives of Girona and Sarajevo Canton emphasized the importance of the direct air route for enhancing tourism and economic cooperation, and presented plans for further promotion of both destinations. The cooperation will continue through concrete activities aimed at deepening institutional and economic ties, as well as increasing the number of passengers on the route, which has already marked a new phase of connectivity between these regions.
This visit confirms that the Girona–Sarajevo air route is not merely a transport link, but a strong bridge of cooperation, exchange, and new opportunities for both countries.
