Belgrade/Banja Luka, 24 Sept 2010 – Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning Oliver Dulic and Republika Srpska Minister of Transport and Communications Nedeljko Cubrilovic signed a protocol in Banja Luka on the construction of Bacevci-Fakovici bridge over the river Drina.
After signing the document, Dulic said that there is a good cooperation in accordance with the agreement on establishing special parallel relations between Serbia and Republika Srpska and that concrete projects will be carried out based on that agreement.
This bridge will better connect the citizens who live on both sides of the river Drina, but will also be the change for economic growth and a better future.
Dulic recalled that the bridge on the Raca was recently opened and that the construction of a new road linking motorways in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina is underway.
Serbia will provide funds for the construction of this bridge in the next year’s budget, he announced and added that the start of bulding access roads will be in 2012.
Republika Srpska Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, who attended the signing of this protocol, said that the bridge will be built in order to connect people, banks and their potentials in the future.
The Council for implementation of the agreement on special parallel relations concluded that there are three important points of communication between Serbia and Republika Srpska, Dodik said, noting that these are the Raca bridge, the future Bacevci-Fakovici bridge and road communication between Visegrad and Uzice.
Cubrilovic said that the signing of the protocol is a continuation of good cooperation with the Serbian government and stressed that it is of vital importance for the economy for both sides of the Drina.
The bridge will be more than 200 metres long and its project value amounts to €1.5 million, which will be provided by Serbia, while the funding for access roads will be shared between Serbia and Republika Srpska, explained Cubrilovic.
