IR Iran is also interested in the renewal of economic cooperation with BH. In terms of this, the Ambassador informed the Governor about the obstacles which the Islamic Republic of Iran has been encountering in Bosnia-Herzegovina, even after sanctions’ withdrawal, mentioning that BH still has not withdrawn sanctions to this country, and that the obstacles for cooperation and implementation of potential future projects also exist in the banking sphere. Before the introduction of sanctions to Iran, the most of Iran's imports from Bosnia and Herzegovina was related to the import of coke, the Ambassador said, adding that there is an interest of this country to import bauxite and to invest into the tourism sector.
