To recall, Pretis was the leader in the production of weapons and ammunition in the former Yugoslavia before the war, but it got into problems after the war, and it accumulated losses over years. In the period from 2012 to 2016, the company recorded annual losses between 4 and 8 million BAM.
Pretis managed to finally make a progress in 2016 and earned revenue in the amount of 23.4 million BAM, which represent an increase of 10 million BAM in comparison to 2015.
