Arizona Market is a real market town. It provides a great variety of goods to the northern part of Bosnia-Herzegovina at low prices – which is why so many people come here to shop. What it needs is the infrastructure and government services of a real town.
That is the important part of what we are saying today. We are inviting the private businessmen to join with the Brcko District Government to design and build better facilities for the shopkeepers here – with more space for traffic, with police and fire protection, with water, sewage and drainage.
This is not an easy job. It will take months of planning and negotiating to put all the parts of this job together. We need the skills and business judgment of the private sector. During this period, Brcko District planning for better Government services will continue to move forward.
There are still some people talking about “closing” Arizona Market. This is nonsense. Arizona Market will be developed further, it will become an even better place to shop, and it will be a part of the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
