Construction of Bridge Pelješac - all Rights will be Respected

The Bosnian government has reached the decision that the construction of a 30 meter high bridge between the southern Croatian peninsula of Pelješac and the mainland would obstruct a free passage to Bosnian waters.

At today's Government session the Croatian prime minister Ivo Sanader said, stressing that Croatia has every right to build a bridge to connect its territory, that Croatia would try to resolve the issue through negotiation and announced that he would discuss it once again with Bosnian leaders.

Sanader also said that he would like the issue to be dealt with by a joint group of experts rather than by politicians.
