The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering a sovereign loan of up to EUR 12 million to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to be on-lent to the Central Bosnia Canton through the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH).
The funds will be used to finance energy efficiency measures in up to 55 public buildings
