SVILAJ, September 30 (FENA) - Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina Zoran Tegeltija expressed satisfaction with witnessing the completion of a major investment project - the opening of the Svilaj Bridge, which will connect the motorway on the Corridor Vc on the BiH and Croatian sides over the Sava River.
He said that today everyone witnessed the success of BiH and the Republic of Croatia with the support of the European Union, adding that there are a small number of such large projects that have been realized without the support of friends from the European Union.
"We have shown that we have enough knowledge, skills and courage to jointly implement projects, build and finance them. The construction of even the smallest bridge anywhere in the world proves the ability of people to build, but at the same time symbolizes the connection of people, trade, economies and cultures," he added.
He expressed hope that the second bridge near Gradiška, which is also being built jointly by the two countries, would open in the summer of 2022, together with European Commission Presidents Ursula von der Leyen and Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, who also attended today's opening of the Svilaj Bridge.
