Corridor 5C is a transport road and rail corridor that connects Hungary, Croatia and B&H on the section Budapest – Osijek – Sarajevo – Ploče.
The longest part of the corridor, which is about 335 kilometers long, passes through B&H, from which 285 km passes through the Federation of B&H and the rest through the Republic of Srpska.
Corridor 5C is passing through B&H on following direction: Svilaj – Odžak – Modric – Doboj – Zenica – Kakanj – Visoko – Sarajevo – Konjic – Jablanica – Mostar – Čapljina to the south border with Croatia, precisely at Bijača border crossing.
