“We took a break for more than a year due to the coronavirus, and now that the situation has stabilized, on May 17 we are going to Banja Luka [the capital of the RS] for a joint meeting to begin the implementation of numerous projects,” Brnabic noted.
According to her, the Bratolyub bridge between Ljubovija in Serbia and Bratunac in the RS should be opened at the end of July or in August.
“I sincerely hope that we will finally open that bridge at the end of July or August, since we completed our part back in 2017. We were waiting for the border crossing to open. This bridge will mean a lot to people on both sides of the bridge,” the head of government added.
As for the airport in Trebinj, Brnabic expressed hope that its construction will begin next year.
“We have allocated significant funds for the alienation of land. The airport will belong to Serbia,” Brnabic said, adding that automated hail protection will be installed at the facility.
She noted that peace is the most important value for Serbia at the moment, which nothing should jeopardize. She also said that she recently spoke with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic about a project to build a Science and Technology Park in Sarajevo, adding that she would like to work on such projects with neighboring countries.
“I would like to have the opportunity to talk to Pristina, when they introduced 100 percent taxes on our goods, and put national stamps on their products, about how to ensure the digitalization of their schools. But on their part, no one wanted to communicate with us,” added Brnabic.
