As Minister Mitrović noted, the Transport Community is a highly important regional partner for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the signed Transport Community Treaty is a proof of that.

“The development and connectivity of the countries in the region and the Western Balkans countries means better life for the citizens and a better position of our country on its path towards the EU integration. Also, the road construction and safety as well as investment in railway transport, removal of non-physical barriers for more efficient and faster border crossing are the priorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Transport Community. This will all contribute to a better connectivity in the region, which is of great importance if we want to develop and move forward with our economies” said Minister Mitrović.
