Serbia and Bosnia have started talks on constructing a fast highway between the Serbian capital Belgrade and Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Serbian Vice President Zorana Mihajlovic met with the Bosnian minister of transport, Ismir Jusko, to agree on forming a joint working group to consider routes and road construction, according to the Serbian newspaper B92.
Mihajlovic said that Serbia's main focus is for building the 100km Pozega-Visegrad section, of which 60km is in Serbia and 40km in Bosnia. Estimated project value and details have not been disclosed, the newspaper said.
Serbia is also discussing new transport projects with Poland, B92 reported. Mihajlovic met with her Polish counterpart, Andzej Adamicko, to discuss transport corridors between the two countries and other Central and Eastern European states. The minister said that the completion of the Corridor 10 motorway, and a node south towards Macedonia and then into Greece, is the highest priority.
The Serbian newspaper Vecernje Novosti reported that the government remains committed to a Moravski Corridor motorway towards Macedonia and westwards towards Montenegro. A preliminary agreement for the Morasvki Corridor was reached with the China Road and Bridges Corporation in 2012. But negotiations have stalled because CRBC has suggested that work could cost around €650 million, about €150 million than previously estimated, the newspaper reported.
