BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT IN B&H: IN 2014 RECORDED A DOWNFALL OF ALLOCATIONS IN

AGRICULTURE FOR 19,5% As the art of project "Business environment B&H" of the Institute for Youth Development KULT, a study was completed on budgetary incentives which institutions of government appropriated for the development of the economy in 2013 and 2014, in the form of grants and repayable funds. The survey covered 133 institutions and more than 600 million of funds allocated for incentives in the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research, according to the Institute, showed a negative trend of budget support to B&H economy.

"Total incentives for the economy, the institutions that provided data, planned to 390,892,989.18 KM in 2013. ie 330,040,331.93 KM in 2014, while completed incentives amounted to 325,606,866.42 KM in 2013 and 262,237,336.36 KM in 2014. The sum total of completed industry incentives, in both years, amounts to 587,844,202, 78 KM. Thus, decreased appropriations economy by 19.5% in 2014 "- said Rusmir Pobric, project manager of project "Business environment B&H" at the Institute for Youth Development KULT.

The research showed that agriculture was the largest contributor to the overall economy of incentives in both years and with a share of 54%. This is followed by industry with 18%, followed by services, development of entrepreneurship and crafts, and tourism. It is interesting that for the IT sector, which in recent years the most wanted profession, there was no separation. The most common sectorial branches are education (34.6%) and sport tourism (27.6%), while completely unrepresented mountain and sea tourism (0.0%). There are also a poor representation of ecological, health and religious tourism (0.5 to 1.3%) in the total incentives for tourism, added Pobric. The research results will be used as one of the sources for the analysis of the situation in the field of budgetary incentives to prospective industries in B&H. Analysis of the situation, with the identified promising industries, will serve as a platform to create precise guidelines for improving the process for all financial institutions that encourage and stimulate economic development.

2. FOND OF YOUTH ENGAGEMENT

Youth engagement plays an important role in community mobilization and development, because it implies the involvement of young people in addressing the many issues to improve their own position, but also the entire community. While the majority of young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina described as passive, remains ignored the fact that young people often do not have the support, not direction, in their communities in order to achieve change, which is why many of their wishes and ideas remain unrealized. Through youth engagement Young people show that they are the key resource of their communities, engage in responsible and challenging actions, and assume the role of active citizens. SHL Foundation offers financial and mentoring support to young people, especially those who did not have experience in youth engagement, to put their ideas into reality. Young people throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina water youth camps and meetings, recruit volunteers, raise money for charity, organized sports and cultural events, advise and provide support to their peers, and in many ways affect their communities. The gain organizational and leadership skills, practical experience and actively participate in decision-making.
