The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will grant Bosnia and Herzegovina a EUR 10 million loan to finance the upgrading of facilities at the port of Brčko and improving road and railway access to the harbour. Brčko port is the only inland river port in the country and is a transit point for cargo traffic flows to and from heavy industries in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The planned investments will significantly improve the operational efficiency of the port which is currently limited by rail access that passes through the town centre and outdated infrastructure and handling equipment. The planned relocation of the railway line will not only bolster the port but also allow for urban development along the existing railway route. The Sava river links Brčko with the Danube, south-eastern Europe’s major waterway.
