International Consortium of Sustainable Construction "Feniks," which has so far brought together Slovenian and Serbian companies, was joined today by successful companies from BiH at the official signing of the Agreement on joining into a consortium. The ceremony, in presence of prominent representatives of politics and economy, was held within the 3rd Sarajevo Business Forum, which is being held in the Bosnia-Herzegovinian capital.

The International Consortium of Sustainable Construction "Feniks", which has so far brought together over 40 extraordinary Slovenian and Serbian companies, was founded in Belgrade in late January this year. This is a project that serves primarily for joint participation in international markets (with an emphasis on Russian markets or generally in the markets of Eastern and Southeastern Europe and countries from the MENA area (Middle East North Africa region). The project initiators were the Serbian company PSP Farman and the Slovenian Corporation Hidria.

Today's joining of Bosnian-Herzegovinian companies (ANS Drive Ltd, Energoinvest Inc., Euro-Asfalt Ltd. and Širbegović Group) is of great importance for the Feniks consortium, because in that way its competence increases and at the same time, joining of enterprises from BiH is of great importance from the aspect of reintegration of the region of Southeast Europe.

The project has great potential for the entire region, which is indicated by great support of the most prominent authority representatives of both countries which cooperate, among them the President of Slovenia Danilo Tuerk and his Serbian counterpart Boris Tadić. The benefits of reintegration of the region, i.e. linking successful companies in the field of construction, has been recognized by the most prominent representatives of BiH economy and politics. Today's ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the BiH Presidency, Bakir Izetbegović.

The "Feniks" consortium, which now brings together more than 40 successful companies with a total of more than 4.5 billion annual turnover, and employs over 35.000 people, remains open to further expansion. Successful companies from Croatia, Montenegro and Macedonia are already preparing for joining further reintegration of the region.
