Višković stated that this section is very important for Republika Srpska and that one of the Government’s priorities is the reconstruction of this main road, which connects Republika Srpska and Montenegro.
He emphasized that Republika Srpska is ready to move to the second phase of implementing the memorandum, aiming to sign the financing and execution contract as soon as possible, allowing the fieldwork to commence.
He noted that a project for the reconstruction of this road has been completed, creating the preconditions for the execution of the works, but it remains to secure the approval of financial resources for the construction as soon as possible.
