This is a project for the reconstruction of a residential-commercial building, with a change of its purpose into a modern business facility, for which a building permit has been issued to the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The event was attended by Reis-ul-ulema Husein ef. Kavazoviฤ and H.E. the Ambassador of the State of Qatar, Meshaal bin Ali Al-Attiyah.
In addition to the significant investment aspect, the realization of this project will also solve a long-standing security problem, given that the building was in a dilapidated state and posed a potential danger to citizens and traffic.
The Mayor of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo, Irfan ฤengiฤ, emphasized that this is the result of continuous work on strengthening international cooperation.
"This is a concrete result of two years of joint work by the Municipality and the Islamic Community. International cooperation brings us not only new experiences but also concrete projects and million-dollar investments that are changing our Old Town," stated Mayor ฤengiฤ.
During the meeting with the Qatari Ambassador, new projects and opportunities for further enhancement of cooperation were discussed, particularly in the areas of investment, tourism, and development.
The Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo expects that the Commission for National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina will provide the necessary opinions in the coming period for projects worth more than 10 million BAM, including the construction of a swimming pool at Bentbaลกa, a HUB in Muvekita Street, the IZBiH hotel in the former Rijaset building, and the arrangement of the square in front of the House of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Municipality emphasizes that accelerating the work of the Commission, following changes in its composition, would enable the realization of a series of important projects that will contribute to the development of the Old Town and the quality of life of its citizens.
