Rhine-Danube Corridor: Demining the Right Bank of the Sava River in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Rhine-Danube Corridor: Demining the Right Bank of the Sava River in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Project Description

The Rhine-Danube Corridor provides the main east-west navigation link across Continental Europe. One branch connects Germany to the Black Sea; a second branch leads to Ukraine.  Its extension into the Western Balkans is via the Sava River. 

This project involves the demining of 40 km on the right bank of the River Sava in Bosnia and Herzegovina to comply with safety and navigability requirements.

The investments are part of the Sava and Drina River Corridors Integrated Development Programme, which aims at strengthening integrated river basin management and development through connectivity, flood protection and landscape management.

The EU co-funds the demining works under Flagship 1 - Connecting East to West - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
