Ambasadorica Italije u BiH, NJ.E.

Kroz ove inicijative, IOM premje\u0161ta fokus sa reaktivnog odgovora na sistemsku pripremljenost, ula\u017eu\u0107i u alate, vje\u0161tine i koordinaciju prije nego \u0161to do\u0111e do hitnih situacija. Ova oprema nije samo donacija, ve\u0107 dio cjelovitog pristupa koji uklju\u010duje i obuku i koordinaciju. Duboko smo zahvalni Vladi Italije i na\u0161im lokalnim partnerima, s kojima dijelimo zajedni\u010dki cilj – ja\u010danje otpornosti zajednica kroz izgradnju kapaciteta za pravovremen i koordiniran odgovor na katastrofe.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Majda Kova\u010d<\/strong> iz Federalne uprave civilne za\u0161tite, osvrnula se na zna\u010daj projekta za lokalne zajednice: “Iskreno zahvaljujemo na\u0161im talijanskim partnerima \u0161to su daju prioritet stvarnim potrebama na terenu i usko sara\u0111uju s jedinicama lokalne civilne za\u0161tite – oprema se dodjeljuje prema specifi\u010dnim potrebama zajednica u kojima se implementira projekat, ja\u010daju\u0107i otpornost tamo gdje je to najpotrebnije<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

\u017deljko Jankovi\u0107<\/strong> iz Republi\u010dke uprave civilne za\u0161tite, dodao je: “Donirana oprema direktno odgovara na potrebe koje su identificirale op\u0161tine i potvrdile uprave civilne za\u0161tite. Ovakav pristup saradnji osigurava da pomo\u0107 bude prakti\u010dna, relevantna i odmah korisna u hitnim slu\u010dajevima. <\/em>Ponosni smo na ovo sna\u017eno partnerstvo i smatramo ga modelom za budu\u0107e inicijative<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Italy Donates 385,000 KM in Equipment to Civil Protection to Enhance Disaster Preparedness in Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sarajevo, 24 March 2026 \u2013 <\/strong>In a significant step towards strengthening disaster risk reduction and enhancing community resilience, the Ambassador of Italy, H.E. Sarah Eti Castellani<\/strong>, along with representatives from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and in partnership with the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), has officially handed over equipment valued at 385,000 KM to civil protection units throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The official handover ceremonies were held at the Federal Administration of Civil Protection in Sarajevo and the Republic Administration of Civil Protection in Isto\u010dno Sarajevo. Representatives from the civil protection units of Maglaj, Konjic, \u010capljina, Zenica, Ljubu\u0161ki, Tomislavgrad, Srebrenik, Doboj, Nevesinje, and Prijedor<\/strong>, all recipients of the new equipment, attended the events.<\/p>\n

Funded by the Government of Italy through AICS, this donation is a key part of the broader initiative, \u201cStrengthening Local Capacities for Disaster Preparedness and Response.\u201d The 1.3 million KM project aims to support 21 municipalities within the country, with a focus on building safer and more resilient communities. The equipment includes firefighting, mountaineering, and radio-communication tools, as well as flood rescue equipment and camp coordination kits.<\/p>\n

Ambassador of Italy to Bosnia and Herzegovina, H.E. Sarah Eti Castellani,<\/strong> emphasized the importance of international partnership: \u201cItaly remains a steadfast partner of Bosnia and Herzegovina in strengthening institutional capacities, enhancing community safety, and supporting resilience at all levels. By investing in first responders, we invest in the safety and resilience of communities across the country. We are confident that the equipment delivered today will be used effectively and responsibly, contributing to a safer and more resilient Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

On behalf of IOM, Deputy Chief of Mission, Michael J.F. O'Mahony, <\/strong>highlighted the evolving nature of disaster preparedness: \u201cDisasters are becoming more frequent and complex, so preparedness must evolve as well. Through initiatives like this, IOM shifts the focus from reactive response to systemic preparedness by investing in tools, skills, and coordination before emergencies occur. This equipment is more than just a donation: it is part of a comprehensive approach that includes training and coordination. We are deeply grateful to the Italian Government and our local partners, with whom we share the goal of reinforcing community resilience by building capacity for timely and coordinated disaster response<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Majda Kova\u010d<\/strong>, representing the Federal Administration of Civil Protection, noted the impact at the municipal level: \u201cWe sincerely thank our Italian partners for prioritizing our real needs and collaborating closely with local civil protection units – the equipment is allocated based on the specific needs of local communities, strengthening resilience where it is most needed<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u017deljko Jankovi\u0107, <\/strong>representing the Republic Administration of Civil Protection, added: \u201cThe equipment distributed today directly addresses needs identified by municipalities and validated by civil protection administrations. This collaborative approach ensures that the support is practical, relevant, and immediately useful during emergencies. We are proud of the strong partnership demonstrated here and see it as a model for future initiatives.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Mario Bajto, <\/strong>from the Civil Protection and Firefighting Service of the City of Ljubu\u0161ki, expressed his gratitude on behalf of the direct recipients of the donations, namely, the local civil protection units as first response services – and emphasized that equipping local teams is crucial for improving community safety.<\/p>\n

The \u201cStrengthening Local Capacities for Disaster Preparedness and Response\u201d project is being implemented in 21 local communities across both entities and the Br\u010dko District, providing equipment, training, simulations, and contingency planning for civil protection teams. IOM, AICS, and the Italian Embassy reaffirmed their shared commitment to ongoing collaboration and long-term community resilience. All equipment is provided in cooperation with the Federal and Republic Civil Protection Administrations, according to the needs identified by beneficiary municipalities. The project, valued at 1.3 million BAM, aims to create safer and more resilient communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n
