“The confirmation of the readiness of the project is an important step in the approval procedure for, alongside the Peljesac bridge project, another strategic Croatian project, and the ministry and HZ Infrastructure, as the beneficiaries of the project, will continue with further activities to prepare the project and submit it to the European Commission,” the ministry said in a statement.

The project involves the modernisation and electrification of 23.9 km. Public procurement is envisaged for this year of 2017. The project is estimated to be completed in 2019.
