Will the entry of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) into the Transport Union mean the continuation of planned infrastructural projects, which have been announced years ago? New promises are arriving, but new kilometers on Corridor Vc still aren’t open. On the other hand, Republika Srpska, one of the two entities of BiH, is completing the highway Banja Luka-Prnjavor.
The parliamentary commission for foreign affairs is considering the agreement about the investment grant for construction of part of the Corridor Vc between Svilaj and Odzak, the total price of which is 109 million Euros but for which the grant is 25 million Euros. That is one of the active construction sites on Corridor Vc which goes through the Federation of BiH. Autoceste say that construction is being done of parts between Drivusa and Klopce and Klopce and Donja Gracanica. In the last 16 years, the Federation of BiH built nearly 90 kilometers of highway but in the last three years, none.
Construction on the highway between Banja Luka and Prnjavor are nearing end. Towards the end of the September, 10 kilometers between Mahovljani and Drugovici will be opened, while in the spring of next year, the entire part towards Prnjavor will be opened. In that way, the total in RS will increase from 76 kilometers to 112 kilometers.
“At the beginning of October, we’re going to London to negotiate with bankers to get funds for the highway between Rudnak and Johovac, which is worth 70 million BAM,” Nedo Trnic says.
