The total length of the Corridor Vc in FBiH is approx. 335 km, of which approx. 100 km has already been constructed and is operational. The Corridor alignment is divided into four LOTs. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering providing financial support to JPAC for the construction of the new 14.21 km motorway section from Mostar North Interchange to the Mostar South Interchange2 on the Corridor Vc (LOT 4). This Non-technical Summary provides a summary of the expected environmental and social (E&S) impacts and mitigation measures needed to structure the Project to meet the Lenders’ requirements. The purpose of this document is to provide information to everyone that may be interested in the Project. 1.2 Project location and description The 14.2 km long section Mostar North-Mostar South begins 500 m before the Mostar North Interchange in the Kutilivac settlement, east of Vrapcici, and ends just before the Mostar South Interchange near the Mostar Airport. After the interchange, the alignment extends towards the settlement of Suhi Do, where the route is moved to the east (“up the hill”), in order to avoid houses. After Suhi Do, the section enters the longest tunnel on this section, Tunnel Ostri Rat (L=3,380 m), turning towards the south and bypassing the City of Mostar. In the area east of Luke settlement, the alignment exits the tunnel and passes the slopes above the settlements and extends south. The section crosses the relatively uneven terrain between Ostri Rat and Gnojnice via viaducts and tunnels. In Kocine settlement the alignment passes through a tunnel (L=2,600 m). After exiting this tunnel, the alignment descends towards the Mostar South Interchange. The section ends at the Mostar South Interchange, which enables the connection between the motorway and main road M6.1 and it is located east of Mostar Airport. This location provides direct connection between the City of Mostar, the Airport and western Herzegovina via the planned southern bypass of the City to the motorway on Corridor Vc. On this section the total length of the tunnels is 8,110 m, and the total length of the viaducts is 940,00 m. The alignment passes mainly through hilly terrain with significant spatial limitations, so cuts and embankments alternate with a larger number of buildings along the section. 1 Even though the ToR states that the section is 15.4 km long, during a meeting held with the representatives of JPAC, it was confirmed that the official length of this section is 14.2 km. 2 Mostar South interchange is part of Mostar South-Tunnel Kvanj Corridor Vc subsection 2 CORRIDOR Vc IN FBIH: MOSTAR MOTORWAY Mostar North-Mostar South Non-technical Summary Figure 1: Motorway section from Mostar North to Mostar South on the Corridor Vc 1.3 Project components Main Project components are as follows: Interchange The section Mostar North-Mostar South begins 500 m before the Mostar North Interchange in Kutilivac. and toll This interchange is laid in the embankment, and it is in a shape of a trumpet. Mostar North Interchange station is projected with lateral toll station. Toll station Mostar North consist of 8 toll booths and 9 traffic lanes “Mostar and it has a ground floor structure - pay toll control building and passage for extra-large vehicles, roofed North” parking for employees and a power supply structure.

Signature:…………………………….. iii UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX Maria Djolai Ph.D. Development Studies WHEN THE ROOFTOPS BECAME RED AGAIN: POST-WAR COMMUNITY DYNAMICS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Summary My thesis explores post-war community formation following the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), the deadliest European violent conflict since WWII. The study draws on 18 months of fieldwork and mixed methods data collection in two small towns, Stolac in Southern Herzegovina and Kotor Varoš in Northern Bosnia, which were exposed to intense violence. The thesis uses the concept of community as analytical optic to avoid ethnic “groupism” perspective, which so often obscures the complexity of social relations and the dynamics of communal life in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

  • Wind Power Plant Podveležje Non-Technical Executive Summary
    February 2018 Wind Power Plant Podveležje Non-Technical Executive Summary PROJECT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The utility “JP Elektroprivreda Bosne i Hercegovine d.d. Sarajevo” (EP BiH) is building the Wind Farm Podveležje with a capacity up to 48 MW (hereafter “the Wind Farm” or “the Pro- ject”). The Project is located near the city of Mostar and is financed by the German development bank KfW (in german Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau). JP Elektroprivreda Bosne i Hercego- vine d.d. Sarajevo will be the operator of the power plant and JP Elektroprivreda Bosne i Her- cegovine d.d. Sarajevo, with an approximate ratio 80/20 percent respectively. The Construction Contractor for building and improvement of the wind farm internal roads (Lot 3) is Consortium comprising HP INVESTING d.o.o. Mostar, AMITEA d.o.o. Mostar and IZGRADNJA TOJAGA d.o.o. Mostar. For the installation of 110/30kV substation and 30kV cable collector system (Lot 2), the contract was awarded to the company ABB d.o.o. Zagreb. The Construction Contractor for installation of wind turbines (Lot 1) is not known at this time, as the tendering process is currently in progress. Through the construction of the Podveležje Wind Farm, the Project represents a development opportunity and an overall chance not only to increase the electricity production, but also to serve as a driving force of economic development in this region. The Podveležje Wind Farm Project represents a significant strategic benefit to this region, it aims to provide up to 48 MW of reliable and “clean” electrical energy to the national grid.
