The foundation stone of the largest tourist city in the southeast Europe, Buroj Ozone, will be laid on Monday, 19 September, in the municipality of Trnovo.

A press conference will be held on that occasion on Saturday, 17 September, when details about this project worth 4.5 billion KM will be presented.

Complex consists of more than 75 hotels, a huge shopping mall, more than 1,000 luxury villas, many sport and cultural facilities, as well as the cable car to the top of Bjelasnica.

It will be located in the municipality of Trnovo which lies below the Bjelasnica and Igman mountains, venue of the 1984 Winter Olympic Games, around 20km from Sarajevo.

Bosnia has seen an influx of tourists from the Middle East in recent years and a growing number of Middle Eastern buyers of properties, attracted by the country's mountain landscape.

The project will create at least 10,000 local jobs, he said.

“The aim of this unique project is to turn Bosnia and Herzegovina into a tourism leader of southeast Europe and to put its rich natural resources at the disposal of local and international clients,” Ismail Ahmed, the company's manager said earlier.
