Construction works on the connection of the downstream bridge over the Sava River on Corridor Vc near Svilaj were successfuly completed at the end of February. The new cross-border bridge is part of the extension of the Mediterranean Corridor in the region and connects Bosnia and Herzegovina with Croatia at Svilaj on the Sava River.
Each country finances the joint construction of the bridge in equal share, 50% each, and both parts are co-financed from EU funds. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union made available a €25.09 million grant for the implementation of the project through the WBIF under the Connectivity Agenda in 2015, while loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) complement the national contribution.
