Today, Loznica was a host of conference on "Cooperation in the Drina River Basin- Cooperation in Europe", which presented various projects and examples of good cooperation between neighbors within the region, while participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences and project ideas.

The aim of the Conference was to promote cooperation among neighbors and strengthen their economic and social relations.

- City Administrations of Bijeljina and Loznica have a long-term cooperation in the field of economy and tourism. One of the things that bind two neighboring municipalities is certainly Drina River.
