The inauguration of the new Herzegovina Bridge which extends nearly 1km across the Neretva River, along with the Počitelj-Zvirovići subsection of the highway, represents a significant infrastructural achievement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a vital component of Corridor Vc, this major transportation route aims to increase connectivity while improving travel times, traffic safety and economic relations. In line with the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy, the project has been financed with a €5 million EU grant under the Western Balkans Investment Fund, as well as a €105 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB Global), allocated to the entire Počitelj-Bijača section.
