Sarajevo, 22 November 2018 – UK Government has allocated more than 1 million BAM (£500,000) to support communities and authorities in Una-Sana Canton hosting migrants and refugees.

The project will support local authorities’ efforts to ensure improved delivery of public goods and services, both to migrants and the local population in Una-Sana Canton. The project will also support the reparation and revitalization of public spaces, such as the Bihac City Park and the Partisan Memorial Cemetery in Borici.

The project further aims to enhance security by supporting the installation of public lighting on streets in local communities along the Croatian border frequented by transiting migrants and refugees.

The project will reinforce public garbage collection services through the donation of garbage collection trucks to the City of Bihac and Cazin Municipality and provision and instalment of small garbage cans, together with additional larger garbage collection containers throughout the city centre of Bihac.

The Agreement was signed by H.E. Mr. Matthew Field, British Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mr. Peter Van der Auweraert, IOM Chief of Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Vlada Velike Britanije pruža 1 milion KM podrške lokalnim zajednicama Unsko-sanskog kantona koje ugošćavaju migrante i izbjeglice

 

Sarajevo, 22. novembar 2018. godine – Vlada Velike Britanije je izdvojila više od 1 milion KM (£ 500,000) za podršku zajednicama i vlastima u Unsko-sanskom kantonu koji ugošćavaju migrante i izbjeglice.

Projekat će podržati napore lokalnih vlasti da osiguraju kvalitetnije usluge korištenja javnih dobara i usluga, kako migrantima tako i lokalnom stanovništvu u Unsko-sanskom kantonu. Projekat će također podržati obnovu i revitalizaciju javnih prostora, kao što su gradski park u Bihaću i Partizansko spomen-obilježje u Borićima.

Projekat će ojačati javne usluge za prikupljanje smeća kroz donaciju kamiona za odvoz smeća Gradu Bihać i Općini Cazin i obezbjeđivanje i montiranje malih kanti za smeće zajedno sa većim kontejnerima za sakupljanje smeća u centru Bihaća.

Sporazum je potpisao NJ.E. G. Matthew Field, ambasador Velike Britanije u Bosni i Hercegovini i G. Peter Van der Auweraert, šef misije IOM-a u Bosni i Hercegovini.
