Part of the highway Banja Luka – Doboj, section Prnjavor – Doboj, has officially opened.
President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik and Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic cut the ribbon at the ceremony.
Vucic pointed out that the construction of 36 kilometers is not a small task.
“Many have said that 36 kilometers is little. But those who built it know how expensive it is, especially in times when life is tough.
Dodik said that opening of the highway represents hope.
He added that it is important to connect Republika Srpska with Serbia.
“The one who builds highways does not think about tanks. This project is a proof of our ability and it shows out desire to develop, to stay here and have better relations with everyone, regardless of differences,” concluded Dodik.
The highway is financed by the EBRD loan in the amount of 180 million Euros.
