The B&H Minister of Transport and Communications Damir Hadžić and representatives of the Consortium VPB Zagreb and Instituta IGH Zagreb signed the agreement, announced the B&H Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Hadžić said that this agreement is financed with grants from IPA fund 2010 for 5,2 million euros, and is administered by the World Bank.
