BANJA LUKA, OCTOBER 26 /SRNA/ – The Republika Srpska Development Council has identified priorities for the development of new projects in several areas, including the technological advancement of the economy.

"The Republika Srpska Development Council is expected to announce concrete proposals for systemic measures in several areas shortly," the Government’s Public Relations Bureau announced.

"Months of dedicated work are behind us. More than 400 people from various professional backgrounds participated in 16 roundtable discussions, including agronomists, farmers, businesspeople, athletes and university professors," Minić said.

The statement emphasised that the Council would soon announce concrete proposals for systemic measures in several areas, following extensive consultations conducted over several months and involving more than 400 experts from 14 fields.

The Development Council was established in February by Republika Srpska Government’s decision as an advisory body tasked with proposing and promoting the development priorities of Republika Srpska and advising on how to achieve them.
