At the invitation of the Atlantic Council of Canada, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Head of NATO coordination team, Ana Trisic-Babic, is paying an offical visit to Canada.

At a working lunch organized by the Director General of the Atlantic Council, Bill Graham, Trisic-Babic presented the progress of BiH towards European and Euro-Atlantic intergration from the end of the war to date, status in the MAP (Membership Action Plan) the importance of continuing efforts by Canadian support BiH and BiH in PfP activities, ID, IPP, IPAP, and contribution of BiH to ISAF mission in Afghanistan.

Infomation on the current political, economic and secutity situation in BiH, the region, Canada and the world were exchanged at the meeting.

At the roundtable „Expanding to strenghten the role of NATO", Trisic-Babic explained what requirements BiH must meet in order to complete the activation of MAP, as well as the need of regional involvement in NATO. She emphasized that the experience that BiH, as a post-conflict country, which, in the period of 20 years has implemented a number of important reforms and was elected as a non-permanent member of UN Security Council for the mandate period 2010-2011, can offer to countries in similar situations.

The official visit countinues with meeting in Department of Foreign Affairs and other relevant Canadian institutions, where the topic of meetings, other than NATO, will be the bilateral cooperation between two countries, especially in terms of regulating the contractual relationship that BiH considers a priority-Social Security Agreement, the Agreement on the Protection of investment and Memorandum on youth mobility.
