Speaking of the advantages and disadvantages of the BiH market, according to Mr. Hasslacher, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a tax system that is attractive compared to the surrounding countries, skilled workforce and a favourable location for production, but on the other hand, there is the unordered infrastructure and legislation, and contentious legal and political instability.

Currently, four Austrian companies in BiH are looking for a location, mostly metal and manufacturing industry, and the production of building materials.
