Mr. Muamer Bandić, Director of the Labour and Employment Agency of BiH, met today with Mr. Alexander Wilhelm, Executive Director of the International and Specialized Services (ZAV) of the German Federal Employment Agency, and Mr. Emir Čomor, Project Manager of the Triple Win Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina to discuss labour market situation in both countries, perspectives of future cooperation and the status of the cooperation under the Triple Win Project.
Following a constructive discussion, a number of positive conclusions were made regarding the improvements in the existing activities.  One of the main changes is that the costs of translating documents necessary for recognition of professional qualifications and their certification at the German Embassy will be covered by the Triple Win Project as of autumn 2021.  In addition, the Triple Win Project will start making bonus payments in the amount of 500 euros to applicants who pass their language exam at B1 level on their first try. 
The German Federal Employment Agency was asked to send notifications of any changes in regulations, working conditions and pay grades for the professional qualification that is the subject of our placement services and that any change applying to German workers also applies to workers from Bosnia and Herzegovina who have been placed in jobs under the Agreement between the Labour and Employment Agency of BiH and the German Federal Employment Agency.
Under the agreed cooperation between these two institutions more attention will be given to the exchange of knowledge and experience between PES employees and the initiation of new activities in the education of the unemployed from BiH in accordance with the German and the EU educational standards and principles.
In the end, it was decided to intensify this way of work and organisation of meetings to enable timely and good quality implementation of all conclusions.
