The deadline for a highway project in Bosnia has now been extended. The Banja Luka-Prijedor route is being built by a Chinese contractor, SDHS-CSI BH.

The Banja Luka-Prijedor highway route extends for 42km and the project is expected to cost €297 million. This is now the third instance of the deadline for the project preparation being extended by the Government of the Bosnian autonomous entity Republika Srpska. This latest extension has been said to be unavoidable however, and is due to the current pandemic.
