I have seen worse spending of EU money
Very impressive bridge!
Part of the ‘give them cars, not wars’ policy. Worked out great.
Someone needs to let that truck driver know that he can’t park there.
ok nice but why is EU building bridges in bih ?? they are not in EU .. ??
Fund well spent
Don’t you love it when your hard earned tax money goes to countries with rampant corruption and obscure tendering of processes?
I smell sichuan sauce.
Hungarians being all confused that EU funds can be invested in the infrastructure and not just pocketed by politicians.
I must say, that’s a very nice bridge.
no bike lane ?
Amazing. Congrats!
EU funds with visible outcomes, what is this, science fiction?🤣 Jokes aside, massive congrats.
Probably costed five times more than it should have, considering all the bribes.
Honestly this is a minor bridge I hope this “bridge paid by EU money” doesnt mean they wasted much money on this because in Italy this would cost not more than 50 millions and Italy isnt a country known for having low expenses in infrastructure.
Why does my Italian tax money have to go in this? We are an EU cointributor so we are already carryng more than the half of EU, now do we need to carry also non EU countries?
Once a beautiful view, now ruined by ugly infrastructure.
People who say this is a beautiful bridge have never been to Prague or old towns in Italy…
Probably paid by EIB bank
Does it also have decent dual lane highway before and after? Or just goes into small bumpy local road, just like the “big” A1 Croatia Bosnia border passing to Mostar.
The bridge is built by a consortium of Azerbaijan construction group Azvirt and Chinese state-owned hydropower engineering and construction companies Sinohydro and Powerchina Roadbridge Group. Hering d.d. Široki Brijeg is a subcontractor and overall construction supervision of the entire Počitelj – Zvirovići motorway is by the Italian group IRD Engineering.
Better to spend EU funds on EU companies that can build this, not the cheapest foreign option where none of the money gets back into the economy.

Congratulations to Bosnia!
That’s some beautiful infrastructure. Can’t wait to see how Europe will look once we get things together and start modernizing, this is a good sign
And it probably cost less than the bike “shed” our Irish government had made for their staff.
