Strengthening traffic connections with Bosnia and Herzegovina with help of EU

Belgrade, 7 March 2024

Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic said today, after a meeting with Minister of Communications and Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina Edin Forto, that Serbia is already working on a project for the reconstruction of the Belgrade-Sarajevo railway, and that the two countries will talk together with partners from the EU on its financing.

Vesic pointed out that this is the first joint project between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina after the Dayton agreement, which will enable the two countries to develop economic activities.

He underlined that after the completion of the Belgrade-Pozega highway, the construction of the highway to Bosnia and Herzegovina will begin, towards Kotroman.

Vesic pointed out that today's meeting also looked at the reconstruction of the bridges on the Drina between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, whereby tenders for the reconstruction of the bridge to the Zvornik border crossing and the bridge to the Sepak border crossing will be announced in the coming weeks.

Forto said that after the first meeting with Vesic, the digitisation of transport permits was initiated, explaining that all the business community involved in transport in the entire region will be able to digitise everything needed to cross the border.

He pointed out that projects, such as the Belgrade-Sarajevo railway and initiatives for the digitisation of transport permits, show how regular meetings can produce results.
