On this occasion, Consul General Kajevic presented investment possibilities of BiH to his
interlocutors, while Dr. Vyas presented a vision of possible cooperation between BiH and the
State of Madhya Pradesh as well as the State of Missouri, in which he lives.
Dr. Vyas stated that he is very well-acquainted with the economic potentials of BiH and that, after
conducting detailed examination of investment potentials of our country, he concluded that food
processing sector and natural resources of BiH are fields of interest for the State of Madhya
Pradesh. He also expressed interest of Madhya Pradesh to invest in education sector in BiH, with
the aim of educating BiH personnel for the industries and technologies which are in high demand
in BiH and all around Europe as well.
The officials informed Consul General Kajevic that they intend to commence official talks with the
representatives of the State of Missouri about the opening of the first international “incubator”, or
economic development center in St. Louis. The aim of this project, which would be financed by
private capital and support grants from the State of Missouri, is to form a center that would be at
disposal of the small and mid-sized companies which want to establish a more active presence in
the USA market. Bearing in mind number of BiH citizens in St. Louis and the presence of qualified
personnel of BiH origin, it has been suggested that, during the initial stage, the center be focused
on companies from BiH. The center would provide counseling for transport, sale and distribution
of products as well as possibility of assembling individual components into final products and
training for employees of export-oriented BiH companies. This would result in significant savings
in the export-oriented BiH companies and improve their opportunities to present their products to
the wider USA market.
