May 13 (SeeNews) - A consortium of three Bosnian companies - Niskogradnja, Alfa Term and Tekton has launched the construction of the Svilaj border crossing with Croatia, worth 18.7 million marka ($10.4 million/9.6 million euro), Bosnia's indirect tax administration, UIO, said.
Construction works on the border crossing, which will spread over 103,000 square metres on Bosnia's northern border with Croatia, are expected to last 300 days, UIO said in a press release on Tuesday.
The border crossing will be located at the cross-border Svilaj bridge on the Sava river, whose construction is in the final stage.
The new border crossing will lie on pan-European Corridor Vc, which connects Croatia's Adriatic port of Ploce with Budapest in Hungary via Bosnia.
