After consultations with coach Mehmed Bazdarevic, FFBIH management decided who will attend FIFA's preliminary qualifying draw for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as well as team seminar for various organizational and administrative aspects of the upcoming qualifications.

FFBIH general secretary Jasmin Bakovic, vice president Darko Ljubojevic and staff secretary Elmir Pilav will represent our football federation at this event on July 25th in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Because many national team coaches won't be attending the draw, Bazdarevic thought his presence won't be necessary. Contract period between two parties was not relevant or discussed at this time.

FFBIH also approved Bazdarevic's plan to attend several football matches next week in order to have talks with some of our players who will be there.

The common position is that upcoming Euro qualifying games have the priority, so all activities will be focused on maintaining positive ambience in the team, winning new points, and the ultimate goal - qualifying for 2016 Euro in France.
