EUSR EXPRESSES HIS SUPPORT TO BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN THE CONTEXT OF EU INTEGRATION

Business Service Centre of the Government of Zenica-Doboj Canton hosted H.E. Valentin Inzko, Special Representative of the EU on April 24, 2010 during a meeting with young politicians where they discussed youth employment and engagement of youth branches of political parties of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Young people make up about 38% of the total unemployed working-age people in Zenica-Doboj Canton, and face significant problems in gaining competencies that enable them to be competitive in the labour market. At the same time a lack of political engagement of young people is visible, who have to be further encouraged to seek solution of many problems.
