Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro: Venturing a new beginning

Abstract

With support from the BMZ, the DGRV has been promoting the development of the cooperative dairy industry in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro since the year 2001. The local population is still suffering from the after-effects of the disintegration of the Yugoslav state and the armed conflicts that ensued. By implementing this project, the DGRV seeks to support a decentralized form of economic development in structurally weak regions and to make an important contribution to poverty reduction and the integration of the various ethnicities in so doing.
