An agreement has been signed in Sarajevo on letting Bosnia and Herzegovina's three rail companies use part of Croatian Railways's (HZ) IT applications and providing technical assistance in introducing IT applications on Bosnia's railways, HZ said in a statement on Friday.

The purpose of the agreement, signed as part of Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader's visit to Sarajevo, is creating a framework for cooperation in information technology with a view to integrating technological information systems on corridor Vc, a railway connecting Ploce, Mostar, Sarajevo, Doboj, Slavonski Samac, Osijek, Beli Manastir and Budapest.
