The parties exchanged views on joint training activities, academic collaborations, and scientific research.

Thanks to the project carried out with the support of TİKA, it is aimed to increase productivity in livestock in Bosnia and Herzegovina, promote animals with superior genetic traits, and support efforts to conserve genetic resources. Additionally, the aim is to develop joint R&D projects between the two universities and to establish lasting scientific cooperation.
