Another business year is behind Euro-Asfalt, marked by numerous successful projects in B&H and outside of its borders. How satisfied are you?
Given the fact that this year was exceptionally difficult for construction workers in our country due to lack of projects, we in Euro-Asfalt have no reason to be unsatisfied. We did not wait for jobs in B&H, we applied to tenders abroad; we got some jobs, some not, but we managed to do enough to end this year positively.
In cooperation with the company ŽGP, Euro-Asfalt completed the Sarajevo bypass before the deadline, connecting Sarajevo with the Corridor 5C.
