Tito’s bunker – one of the best-kept secrets of the former Yugoslavia
Tito’s bunker in Konjic is one of the best-kept secrets of the former Yugoslavia. The public only learned about the existence of a huge atomic shelter, one of the largest of its kind in Europe, in 2000. As much as 4.6 billion U.S. dollars were needed to build the bunker. This small underground city is also the third most expensive project in the history of the former state, after the Lora underground port in Split ($5.6 billion) and the Zeljava underground airport in Bihac, which was destroyed ($8.6 billion). In the event of a nuclear war or some other danger, 350 of the highest political and military officials of the former Yugoslavia could fit in the bunker.
Today, Tito’s bunker is one of the largest and most important underground galleries in Europe, N1 writes.
