SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina), January 24 (SeeNews) – Bosnia and Herzegovina will map out the best route for the construction of a fast road linking Sarajevo with Serbian capital Belgrade over the next 30 days, Bosnia's transport minister Ismir Jusko has said.

The fast road will pass from the Serbian town of Pozega, which will be linked to Belgrade via Serbia's motorway network, to Bosnia's eastern town of Visegrad, approximately 100 km in length. Bosnia will decide which route to choose for the road section from Visegrad to Sarajevo in the next month, Jusko said, according to a press release issued by Bosnia's transport ministry following Jusko's meeting with Serbia's deputy prime minister Zorana Mihajlovic in Belgrade on Monday.

A fast road would considerably cut the travel time between the two capitals from the current 5 hours, Jusko said. He added the two sides are interested in reconstructing the Sarajevo-Belgrade rail line.

In a separate release, Mihajlovic noted that the railway line could be completed within two years.

In November, Bosnia's transport ministry revealed that Turkey is ready to finance the construction of a road linking Belgrade with Sarajevo.
