The topic of the meeting was aimed at improving living conditions for the camp's users, with a special focus on infrastructure projects.

They discussed the need for better coordination between different levels of government and international organizations, as well as the importance of finding sustainable solutions that respect the rights of migrants and strive for integration and protection.

Through joint efforts, the goal is to create a safer and more humane environment for all involved, and to show solidarity and empathy towards those who need it most. Therefore, this meeting confirmed the commitment of all parties to continuous work on improving the quality of life in the Temporary Reception Center Lipa, which represents a key step forward in the management of migration flows in BiH.
