Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the PABiH, Dr. Denis Zvizdić, said that the trilateral meetings between Bosnia and Herzegovina, Türkiye and Serbia as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Türkiye and Croatia are welcome because they can significantly help in relaxing relations and improving policies in the fields of culture, education, economic and economic co-operation.
