The countrywide information initiative “EU at Your Door”, launched by the Office of the EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, will visit Kladanj this week, giving young people and other citizens from the area an opportunity to learn more about the EU and to speak directly to EU officials about this country’s EU perspective.

A debate will be held in Musa Čazim Čatić High School on Friday, 28 March. Students will be able to learn more about EU programmes aimed at young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina and will have an opportunity discuss the shared values of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the EU with Andy McGuffie, Head of Communications at the Delegation of the European Union to BiH / Office of the EU Special Representative.  

Discussion of opportunities and challenges related to EU accession will continue on Saturday morning during “Coffee with the EU”.

On Saturday afternoon Andy McGuffie and Kladanj Mayor Jusuf Čavkunović will welcome participants at an EU-themed entertainment programme that will be organised at the Kladanj Centre for Culture.
