-We are extremely glad that we are in Konjic this year and this is the first time after 10 years of holding the conference that we have moved the conference from Sarajevo. First of all, I would like to thank the Mayor of the City of Konjic, who recognized the importance of this conference and accepted the role the City of Konjic as a patron and thus helped to host it. This is one of the most important IT events in Bosnia and Herzegovina which gathers experts from this field. So far, we have registered lecturers from the countries of the wider region and a large number of participants, especially young people who we gather here and to whom we give the most important information about current events and technologies from this very dynamic IT world over two days. This year, the conference is being organized for the first time as a two-day meeting with a rich program and contents, and we sincerely hope that this is the beginning of a very good cooperation between our Association and the City of Konjic – said Damir Dizdarević, president of the MS Community Association.
– The city of Konjic strives, in accordance with its possibilities, to help every type of organization of events held in our city. I am glad that we will be present in full capacity in this program.Our wish is that as many programs of this and similar contents as possible to be held in Konjic, as we recently had a Math Camp, where our children from Konjic could also participate. We hope, when it comes to the MS Community BiH conference, that a significant number of young people will attend the conference and learn something new.I invite young people to apply and to participate in this conference and to come together to certain insights and knowledge where they have the opportunity to improve their formal and informal education. Thanks to our people from Konjic, who as responsible persons in their workplaces and in their branches try to contribute to their city in some way, through coordination with them we managed to bring such an important conference to our city. I hereby sincerely thank them for that – emphasized the Mayor Ćatić.

The presentation of project ”Konjic, a sustainable tourist destination” was held
On Thursday, 28th of March a presentation of the project ”Konjic, a sustainable tourist destination” took place, which will be financed by the city of Konjic and the Swiss non-governmental organization Caritas.
The implementation of project activities during 2024 and 2025 will achieve the specific goals of the project, namely:
1. Create preconditions for systematic monitoring and management of tourism development in Konjic
By establishing a database, analyzing the current situation in the field of tourism, as well as by creating preconditions for constant monitoring of changes in the local tourist market, we will create preconditions for regular periodic analysis of the state and trends in this area.
2. Systematically organize the market for two tourist products offered by the city
Given that rafting is the most common form of outdoor activity, we want to contribute to the sustainable development and improvement of services in the tourism sector through its systematic arrangement and connection with mountain tourism. The introduction of a control and management system for rafting and other tourist services with the participation of a coordination mechanism is the starting point for managing the development of the destination.
Ultimately, by establishing a sustainable destination management system with a focus on managing rafting and other tourist services on the Neretva River, we would have an insight into the number of visitors and users of rafting services, which would represent the basis for further data analysis, while the realization of income based on established fees would ensure the long-term financial viability of the project.
Konjic will host a European Rafting Championship 2024
Preparations have begun for the organization of the “European Rafting Championship Konjic 2024”, which will be held from June 10 to 15, 2024, organized by the World Rafting Federation and sponsored by the City of Konjic.
On this occasion, the Vice President of the World Rafting Federation Boris Purjakov who is also the President of the Rafting Association of Serbia was in Konjic, who together with the director of the Konjic 2024 European Rafting Championship, Samir Krivić, visited the locations on the Neretva River where the competition will take place.
“This is something that has been prepared for many years and now the circumstances are such that we can realize it. There is still a lot to do, but we at the World Rafting Federation believe that this competition will be at the highest level. The president of the World Rafting Federation, Danilo Barmaz, will also come to Konjic” – said Purjakov, pointing out that they are familiar with the potential offered by Konjic and the Neretva River.
Samir Krivić said that the competition will be held in 3 disciplines.
“Descent, due to its attractiveness for the citizens, will be held from village Džajići to the Old bridge, the slalom race will be in the Džajić buk area, where a slalom course will be made, and the third discipline is a race of two boats competing in parallel. In addition, we will organize a business regatta for numerous dignitaries” – said Krivić, adding that this is a significant event that will bring great benefits, not only for the City of Konjic, but also for the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its promotion.
Boris Purjakov, who has attended all the World Rafting Championships for the past 15 years, said that everything that has been prepared so far for the competition on the Neretva gives the possibility for Konjic to apply for the organization of the World Rafting Championship.
