Herzegovina to Amman Mato Zeco has called for the establishment of a Jordanian

to other Balkan countries where the Kingdom has no diplomatic representation.

In an interview with Jordan News Agency, Petra, on
the occasion of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s National Day, the ambassador praised
the efforts of Jordanian peacekeepers during the war in
Bosnia and Herzegovina
in the 1990s, as well as Jordan’s humanitarian role in hosting refugees.
Zeco added that he is working with the government of
his country to remove the requirement for Jordanians to obtain visas in order
to enter Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He also added that discussions are ongoing with the
Jordanian authorities, including the
Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and
the Jordan Tourism Board, to establish a direct flight route between the two
nations.
The lack of a
trade agreement between the two countries, he said, is holding back the
potential for increased trade cooperation. He noted that 30 Jordanian companies
are currently investing in his country.
Over 1,200 Bosnian citizens are present in Jordan,
the envoy added.
