BOSNIA PREPARES TO SUE CROATIA OVER DISPUTED PELJESAC BRIDGE

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (July 1,2008) - When he was inaugurating the second to last section of the Zagreb-Rijeka motorway, Croatia’s Transport Minister Bozidar Kalmeta confirmed several days ago that the building of the Peljesac bridge would begin on July 15.

However, Bosnian officials warn that the sea border with Croatia has not been agreed yet; that has been the main stumbling block so far at every mention of the bridge.

Bosnia is against the construction of the bridge.Bosnian officials said the bridge would prevent large ships from entering Bosnia's only port in Neum, thus blocking Bosnia's access to the open sea.

Meanwhile, Bosnia has several options, and a lawsuit is one of them.
