SARAJEVO, September 26 (FENA) - Ministry of Communications and Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina organized today in Sarajevo a presentation on the project "Development of planning - study documentation for the Adriatic-Ionian motorway on a section through Bosnia and Herzegovina (Počitelj - Neum - Trebinje - border with Montenegro) with visualization of the conceptual design of the route.
The documentation has been awarded to the consortium of: IPSA Institute Ltd. Sarajevo and Institute of Civil Engineering-IG Ltd. Banja Luka.
Deputy Minister of Communications and Transport of BiH Saša Dalipagić told reporters before the presentation that the Adriatic-Ionian motorway is part of the Adriatic-Ionian corridor of regional character, passing through seven countries.
It starts in Trieste, Italy, passes through Slovenia, Croatia, BiH, Montenegro, Albania and ends in Greece. It is estimated to be approximately 1,110 kilometers long.
Assessing that this is a very important regional project, he said that the southeast part of Herzegovina - the municipalities of Stolac, Ljubinje, Ravno, Trebinje, Neum, Čapljina would be "revived by this project" and connected with neighboring countries.
Dalipagić noted that this motorway is a connection with Western Europe and Asia.
“Today we present one of the five routes that we consider to be the most suitable. The route will cost about 1.5 billion KM and will be about 102 kilometers long,” Dalipagić said.
He explained that the route starts in Počitelj - there will be a connection with Corridor 5C and goes partly to the municipalities of Stolac, Čapljina, Neum, Ravno, Ljubinje, Trebinje and further towards Montenegro, and the connection point with Montenegro has already been defined.
Coordinator on the project Development of planning - study documentation for the Adriatic-Ionian motorway Mladen Goluža assessed that this is a very important project that was done in the first phase.
“Follows preparation of the documentation in the second phase of the preliminary project Environmental Impact Study and the third phase of the main project, as well as related documentation and then the building permit, in order to make this project ready for the investment cycle,” said Goluža.
Project Coordinator Enes Čovrk said that, as far as the economic feasibility of the project is concerned, it already has appropriate indicators and gives a good rate that provides a perspective for further development of the project.
