By the decision of the Government of Tuzla Canton, the remaining part of the funds that the canton received from the International Monetary Fund in the amount of almost 19 million KM, was directed to the main account within the Single Treasury Account.

The dominant part of the funds will be used to finance social protection rights and supplementary rights in the field of veteran-disability protection.
