Bosnia highway funding discussions

Discussions are being held with regard to funding for the Sarajevo to Belgrade highway link. The project is likely to cost around €3 billion to construct.

Building the new highway will reduce the distance and cut journey times considerably, as well as boosting safety and capacity.
