Croatian Government: Railway tunnel Učka part of Program for railway infrastructure

At today’s meeting, the Croatian Government took a stand regarding the amendments referring to the Proposal of the national railway infrastructure program 2008-2012, which was being discussed last week at the Croatian Parliament’s session.

The Minister of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure Božidar Kalmeta, after a discussion lead by the representative Damir Kajin from Istria, concluded that the addressed topic would be regulated via an amendment.

It was not specified although it was already, to some extent, part of the plan, Kalmeta stated, reminding everybody that the joining of the Istrian railway system with the rest of Croatia demanded an additional tunnel through the Učka mountain range.
