Director of BH MAC Saša Obradović expressed its gratitude for the donation, adding that these two vehicles represents significant enhancement to the material and technical resources for the staff working inside Tuzla Regional Office and the Pale Regional Office, “and in this way we can more easily and better monitor all tasks in the area of these five municipalities, which is financed by the German Government”.

The Mayor of Sapna Municipality, Zudin Mahmutović, on behalf of the five mayors of the Majevica region, expressed the hope that by 2024 the area of Majevica, will be demined and that the population will be able to walk safely, thus enabling development of tourism in these five municipalities.
