“ArcelorMittal Prijedor works already 10 years and together with ArcelorMittal Zenica makesthe largest investment in BiH. Activation of mine at Omarska was achieved in 2004 at a timewhen Bosnia and Herzegovina was a country with a very high risk investment as the burden ofthe recent history and present problems in the functioning of the state. Our experience hasdisproved many skeptics because we were able to develop an organization-level globalstandards with local institutions and its own staff. Support of the municipality of Prijedor wasunambiguous and clear with desire to succeed on both sides and provide a new perspective forgenerations to come. The risk that we understand and what we faced on the path ofdevelopment of the company we shared with partners, local institutions and as an epilogueevident path of development, production increase, the number of employees and so on. Webelieve that Prijedor now has a clear orientation in support of their investors and attractingpointing out their potential, natural, human and other resources. Our message can be very shortand clear, "If the company ArcelorMittal made a success in Prijedor, you can do it same thing aswell."Mr. Mladen Jelaca, CEO of Arcelor Mittal Prijedor
