The overall goal of the Project is to improve socio-economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina by improving the transport infrastructure in accordance with the priorities of the SEETO network (“Comprehensive Transport Network of South-eastern Europe”). The realization of this Project would enable a better connection between the regions of Banja Luka, Zenica and Sarajevo with Eastern Bosnia and Western Serbia (areas around Užice and Čačak), i.e. with the neighboring country-candidate for EU membership.
