The Centre for Geopolitical Research Geopol organised a conference in Sarajevo entitled "Geoeconomics: What Can the Diaspora Do?", with the support of the Federal Ministry for Displaced Persons and Refugees. The conference brought together experts in the fields of economics, geopolitics, security, and media, as well as prominent members of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian diaspora.

Panellists included experts such as Nermin Fazlagić, Ernad Deni Čomaga, Ermin Veličanin, Samir Heralić, Mustafa Gradaščević, Nedžad Ahatović, Semir Sejfović, and Jahja Muhasilović. Centre Director Admir Lisica highlighted the significant role of the diaspora in the development of numerous countries, emphasising the historical importance of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian diaspora. The discussion focused on strengthening ties between the diaspora and the homeland, the impact on geoeconomic processes, and security as a prerequisite for investment.

It was concluded that unified action by political and social actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the diaspora is necessary, with the aim of strengthening the country's position and creating a more stable environment for returnees and investors.
