In Sarajevo, she met with members of the state presidency for talks that focused on the changes in Bosnia's electoral legislation, construction of the Peljesac Bridge, improving economic cooperation between the two countries, and other issues.

After visiting Sarajevo, Grabar-Kitarovic plans to visit central Bosnia and Bosanski Posavina for the first time.
