    Dear Ms., Mr. , I am planning to open a small boutique hotel of some 30 rooms in Bihac, north west Bosnia, in a National Park Una as tourism there has grown rapidly. The income the hotel would generate would go for philanthropic projects in the region. Any advice would be welcome. Also, we would greatly benefit of 50.000 Euros (grant or loan) to help us get started, where would one need to go? Many thanks in advance! Halida and Erik
