As stated by Ajka Baru?i?, the Manager of the BH Business Site initiative realized by the Institute, small and medium-sized enterprises are the key generators of workplaces and everyone should be aware of this, especially if we consider the fact that there are around 500,000 unemployed in BiH and that youth are leaving the country in increasing numbers. This is why youth that are starting businesses represent the key of development.
