As Berbic earlier said for Patria, Sarajevo needs a bicycle lane in order to create a new story about the tourism.
“We want people to come to the summer tourism in future, to be able to rent a bike in every hotel and
spend time usingbike as a mean of transport, to visit the city, go to mountains and at the same time to be safe in terms o traffic“, said Berbic.
