What an interesting trip. I can't remember other royals having visited the country? While there's not much official cooperation between the two countries that I know of Sweden has a large Bosnian population of about 80000 people who have, for instance in the city I live in, left a giant mark on contemporary culture.
 
Interesting and exciting, already waiting for to see the program of the visit.

Information officer Ulrika Näsholm said to Svensk Damtidning:
- The crown princess couple will focus on the capital Sarajevo. They are an official visit similar to those that have taken place in Jordan, Lebanon, Vietnam, South Korea and Italy, and this time the crown princess couple will be accompanied by the Minister for Environment and Climate Isabella Lövin.
What will the crown princess couple do, more specifically?
- We must come back to that, the program is being developed in collaboration with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and it has not been finalised yet, says Ulrika Näsholm.
The King's new strategy for Victoria
The increasingly intensive travel schedule is fully in line with the King's new strategy to place more responsibility on the crown princess couple. There will be more and more work for Victoria.

Sweden is the third largest bilateral donor in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each year, with € 18 million in aid, it supports the country's efforts on its reform path to the European Union, and this assistance is implemented in cooperation with local partners.
In January 2016, the Crown Princess was named as one of the 17 ambassadors of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the 2030 Agenda.
The Princess Crown Princess has been part of the alumni group since 2019 and continues to focus on sustainability and issues related to the oceans and fisheries.

Crown Princess Victoria is the future head of state in Sweden, and the role of head of state in Sweden means that she is the country's most prominent representative in defense and in relations with other states. The royal family has the right to vote, although this right has never been used through tradition. When the royal family travels abroad for official visits, they are always accompanied by a minister representing the government.

Tuesday, 5th November, the delegation from Sweden is scheduled to meet with members of the BiH presidency, while on Wednesday November 6th, there will be a joint planting of a tree in the Koševo Park, marking the agreement for the creation of the Environmental Strategy for Bosnia and Herzegovina with the support of Sweden.

The prince of Wales made multiple visits to Bosnia & Herzegovina over the years. For the first time in 1978 (as part of Yugoslavia) and since on various occasions. Sometimes as part of a larger 'Balkan tour'. In 2007 Camilla joined him. See this overview of his Balkan visits.

Edit: The most recent royal visit was probably last year by prince Sultan bin Salman (of Saudi Arabia).

Sounds as if Victoria and Daniel's visit is tailored to their personal interests.

:previous: That seems the normal way of things. Outside of the official events they attend with the government officials. The visits they make on the tours are usually guided by the interests/work of the royals doing the tour.

I look forward to this trip. Admittedly not a country I have seen many photos of and studied a great deal. I look forward to watching this tour.

Charles has been to Bosnia 5 times since 1978, the last time in 2007.

Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia visited last year. But more as a government role then as a royal. He is president of the Saudi tourism board and was there in that capacity.

But they are still in Sweden because the government plane has a technical failure and could not take off, information officer Ulrika Näsholm told.

They should have written to the Swedish Academy, who decides Nobel Prize Laureates and the Swedish Government (especially the Foreign Department) who are responsible for the official visits.

Queen Silvia may feel a lot of sympathy for them, but she is in no position to do anything more than that.
 
Victoria and Daniel have arrived to Sarajevo. They should have flewn with the government plane from Stockholm yesterday afternoon but had to stay in Sweden due to the problems with the plane.

Information officer Ulrika Näsholm to Svensk Damtidning:
- The Crown Princess Couple and minister Isabella Lövin flew with the other government plane which landed from Africa last night. The plane took off early this morning.
Näsholm tells also that changes have been made to the program and Victoria and Daniel meet first the Presidential Council which was at the program yesterday evening.

From Victoria's speech:
Good morning – Dobro jutro.
Prince Daniel and I are honoured to be here today.
The relations between our two countries are strong, and they are manifested in many ways; both at the level of states and between our citizens.
This friendship is also confirmed by the warmth and hospitality with which you have welcomed us on this visit. Thank you! Hvala Lijepo.
...
When Prince Daniel and I travel to different parts of the world, representing Sweden, we often try to get a chance to meet with young people from the place that we are visiting.
Tomorrow, we will go to Trebevic to meet with teenagers participating in a workshop on environment. I am looking very much forward to it.
One thing often strikes me when I speak with this coming generation:
For them, climate change and pollution is not something we can choose to believe in or not.
It is not something that we can deal with later.
It is simply here and now – a reality that demands our immediate action.
Ladies and gentlemen. It is my sincere wish that you will all seize this opportunity to learn and share, and to create the basis for new ideas and alliances.
I truly believe that this is the only way forward: to face our challenges head on – and to do it together.

This has been a very busy day for Victoria and Daniel.

The royal court at its website about the first day
On November 6–7, the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel make a two-day visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the visit, the Swedish government is represented by Minister Isabella Lövin.
Meeting with the Presidential Council
On arrival at the presidential palace in Sarajevo, the Crown Princess couple and the minister were welcomed by the popularly elected presidential council, which consists of three representatives from the constituent people's groups in the country: Bosniaks, Bosnian Croats and Bosnians. The Crown Princess couple then attended a meeting with the Presidency.
Environmental conference on smart cities
This morning, the Crown Princess couple attended a conference in Sarajevo's parliament focusing on smart cities, environmental solutions, air quality and renewable energy. The conference was organized by UNDP, the United Nations Development Program and the Swedish government and on site there were 300 people from the private and public sectors.
The Crown Princess began the conference by giving a speech, where she said:
“We should not underestimate the challenges ahead of us. But neither should we underestimate ourselves, and our ability to solve the problems we face. "
Visit to a Swedish IT company and meeting children in the RoboKids project
The Crown Princess couple then visited the Swedish IT company System Verification in the Sarajevo City Center. System Verification is a Swedish IT company that specializes in quality monitoring and analysis with a focus on innovation, efficiency and security.
The company's founder Hamdija Jusufagic's parents came to Sweden from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1970s and Jusufagics himself was a Swedish UN soldier in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today he has opened a branch in Sarajevo to give back to his parents' homeland.
The Crown Princess couple then met with children from Robokids, a local project where children aged 7-10 from different regions of the country can meet and learn more about programming together. RoboKids is supported by the organization KULT (Institute for Youth Development), an organization that Sweden supports financially. During the visit, the Crown Princess couple was given the opportunity to participate in a workshop where the children learned how to build robots.
Guided city tour and tree planting
After a lunch in the residence, the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel got a guided tour through Sarajevo's old town center. During the walk, they visited a Serbian Orthodox church, a mosque, a synagogue and a Catholic cathedral.
In the Kosevo Park, the Crown Princess couple participated in the planting of a tree. The planting symbolizes the start of the work on developing a new environmental strategy, with support from Sweden. The work is led by the Stockholm Enviroment Institute (SEI) - an international and non-profit organization that handles environmental and development challenges.
Visit to Furniture Museum Zanat, Srebrenica exhibition and dinner with youth organizations
The Crown Princess couple visited the furniture museum Zanat in the city of Konjic. The company was founded in 1927 and manufactures wooden furniture with a unique traditional wood carving technology, which is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Zenat prioritizes environmental sustainability and is investing in reaching out internationally. The company has started cooperation with several international architects and designers.
Thereafter, the Crown Princess couple and Minister Isabella Lövin visited the Srebrenica exhibition at Gallery 11/07/95. The exhibition gives a picture of what the people of the country went through during the war and is still going through as many are still missing since the war. The museum's director and founder, Mr. Tarik Samarah, gave a guided tour of the permanent exhibition and told how it came about.
On Wednesday evening, the Crown Princess couple and the Minister attend a dinner together with representatives from various organizations working for innovation, entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for young people to stay in Bosnia Herzegovina.
The organizations that attend the dinner
IT Girls consists of young Bosnian women who work within the UN and make sure to give girls and young women the opportunity to learn about IT and programming.
The Institute for Youth Development (KULT) supports various youth organizations with the aim of getting more young people to stay in the country and get involved in politics and entrepreneurship.

Very embarrassing for Sweden and Princess Victoria: Srebrenica massacre families condemn Nobel award to pro-Serb author

The protest was timed to coincide with an official three-day visit to Bosnia by Swedish Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, who were expected later Tuesday...... Munira Subasic, who lost her husband and son in the massacre, said the mothers of Srebrenica victims group wrote a letter to the Swedish queen as “fellow mothers” to let her know of Handke’s support for Serb war criminals during the 1990s Yugoslav wars...
They invited the Swedish queen to visit Srebrenica for commemorations next July on the 25th anniversary of the genocide...”

http://www.irishexaminer.com/breaki...app&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=sharebutton Srebrenica massacre families condemn Nobel award to pro-Serb author

They should have written to the Swedish Academy, who decides Nobel Prize Laureates and the Swedish Government (especially the Foreign Department) who are responsible for the official visits.

Queen Silvia may feel a lot of sympathy for them, but she is in no position to do anything more than that.

The protest and letter must have been directed at the Crown Princess Couple and the Queen as symbols of the Swedish state rather than in their capacity as private citizens. Another issue is whether it is proper to treat the Swedish Academy as a representative of the Swedish state.
 
Victoria and Daniel were guided at the tour in Sarajevo by Mayor Abdulah Skaka. They had also time for a coffee.

The royal court about the second day at its website

Visit to the War Childhood Museum
The Crown Princess Couple's second day in Bosnia Herzegovina began with a visit to the War Childhood Museum in Sarajevo. Through testimonies and objects, the museum describes children's experiences of the 1993-1995 war. Founder Jasminko Halilovic himself was a child during the siege of Sarajevo and in 2018 the Council of Europe appointed the museum as the best European museum of the year.
Visit to Sarajevo Music Academy
Crown Princess Couple and Minister Isabella Lövin visited the Sarajevo Music Academy where the Prime minister of Sarajevo Canton Edin Forto talked about how to make public buildings more energy efficient with the help of a successful Swedish project - and in collaboration with the UN development program UNDP. The school is one of the buildings being renovated in the project.Edin Forto also outlined other initiatives to make the city more environmentally friendly.
In the school's concert hall, the Crown Princess couple and the Minister got to listen to a concert with the school's students.
Workshop with high school youth on environmental issues
The visit to Bosnia Herzegovina continued in Trebevic, where Sarajevo Mayor, Abdullah Skak and East Sarajevo Mayor Nenad Vukovic received the Crown Princess couple and Minister Isabella Lövin.
The Swedish-funded organization Center for the Promotion of Civil Society (CPCD) organized a workshop with 20 young people aged 15-18 to pay attention to environmental issues. The Crown Princess couple and Isabella Lövin met young people together with the mayors and talked about environmental issues, focusing on recycling and picking garbage in nature.
Visit at Sarajevo's old bobsleigh track
The delegation then hiked up Sarajevo's mountains to a vantage point with a beautiful view of Sarajevo. Then they visited the old Olympic bobsleigh track, which is one of Sarajevo's most popular tourist destinations. The track was used at the Sarajevo Olympics in 1984, but was destroyed and is now covered with graffiti.
Demining work with support from Sweden
Near the bobsleigh track, Ervina Puskar from the Mine Action Group (MAG) in Bosnia Herzegovina received and told about the organization's work in the country. There are still mines from the war on Trebevic and represent a problem for the residents of both Sarajevo and Eastern Sarajevo. Sweden contributes SEK 20 million over a five-year period to MAG's work.
Jonas Zachrisson, Swedish head of the school who educates demining dogs told about his work and the delegation got to meet the dogs.
Visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina National Museum
At the Bosnian and Hercegovina National Museum, the Crown Princess couple saw, among other things, the exhibition on "The Sarajevo Haggadah", a unique Jewish writing from around 1350.
The script is handwritten on pale calfskin and illuminated in copper and gold and begins with illustrations of important scenes from the Bible from creation to the death of Moses. Since 2017, the writing is included in UNESCO's list of world memories.
Visit the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum
The trip to Bosnia Herzegovina ended at the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum where the Crown Princess couple and Isabella Lövin learned more about the siege Sarajevo and what the Swedish UN troops contributed between 1992 and 1996.
During the siege of Sarajevo in 1992–1995, an 800 meter long tunnel was built under the airport where, among other things, food and other supplies were transported.
At the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum, the Crown Princess couple got to walk a bit in the tunnel and see an exhibition on wartime.
After the visit, Patrik Rydell from the Swedish Armed Forces spoke about the Swedish troops' UN efforts during the war.

"My wife and I welcomed at the City Hall Victoria, the Crown Princess of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel. I introduced them to the history and significance of this symbol of the city of Sarajevo, which, after almost two decades of renewal, has shone again in its authentically gorgeous edition. Princess Victoria enrolled in a book of impressions, and at the end of our visit to the City Hall, we walked through the old part of the city, saying goodbye to the citizens, who welcomed them. They also visited the shop of Master Kalajdzisalihovic, where Princess Victoria chose a gift from her host.
The Princess couple stopped briefly at the site, as an example of a picturesque mix of East and West cultures, and completed a stroll through our capital city, visiting the Old Orthodox Church, the Bey's Mosque, the Synagogue and the Cathedral."
