The bridge, which represents the only communication between some 60 households in the Dubnički most and Pakovići village with the rest of the municipality, was destroyed in the May floods of last year and rebuilt under the EU Floods Recovery Programme. EU investment for the bridge is 40,244.83 EUR and the Municipality provided 15,300.00 EUR.
The EU Floods Recovery Programme was launched to restore normal living conditions in local communities and ensure that the assistance reaches the most vulnerable ones in the aftermath of floods in May 2014. Financial aid is used for rehabilitation of the buildings for public services, infrastructure, housing units for the most vulnerable people and for socio-economic recovery of local communities.
The value of the overall Programme is 43.52 million, out of which 42.24 million is provided by the European Union. This assistance is a part of the funds that the European Union pledged at the donor conference in Brussels in July 2014.
The Programme is implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in cooperation with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
