This center has also published many books on political, Shiite, and Persian literature. The Iranian Embassy, through this Cultural Center, has managed to establish close relations and contacts with many Bosnian intellectuals and academics, and in many of its projects has engaged with Bosnian students who have studied in Iranian universities. Nevertheless, another very influential and highly authoritative cultural center in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the Mulla Sadra Foundation, which has been operating in Sarajevo since 2003.
