After seeing articles in various media regarding Mohamed Taa's (UEFA Hat Trick project manager) visit to FFBIH, we'd like to inform the public that his visit was expected, and that funds for two projects - mini-pitch construction for children with special needs, and infrastructural improvements for premier league clubs' stadiums, are absolutely not questionable.
The facts are:
1. It's common for a Hat Trick manager to visit national associations two times a year, including ours, in order to monitor the implementations of current, and preparation of future projects. Accordingly, mr. Taa's visit was already scheduled.
2. Regarding ongoing projects, "Mini-pitch construction for children with special needs, and infrastructural improvements for premier league clubs' stadiums", we'd like to point out that first project is approved by UEFA's Hat Trick board, while FFBIH needs to deliver informations regarding locations and contracts with construction firms. This obligation towards UEFA is extended because eligible construction firms have not delivered the needed applications to FFBIH. Infrastructural committee's suggestion hasn't received the required number of votes on the past two exco assemblies, which made several members of this committee to quit.
3. During the FFBIH executive committee assembly on December 27th 2013, Nihad Hodzic, infrastrucural and security coordinator, has been appointed to determine the broader criteria for locations of these mini-pitches. Mr. Taa and mr. Hodzic discussed this today, while they also talked about new project implementation dynamics.
4. Regarding the second project (infrastructural improvements for premier league clubs' stadiums), we are emphasizing this is very complex project with 23 applicants (clubs) in mind, all with dissimilar funds and infrastrucutral requirements. The applications have been examined, similar requests are consolidated, and the technical documentation plan is almost finished. Also mr. Taa and mr. Hodzic discussed the details on how to coordinate FFBIH's joint application and project dynamic with UEFA.
