Officials in BiH had worried that the bridge -- originally planned to be only 35 metres high -- would block their country's exit to the Adriatic, impeding access to the port of Neum and making maritime traffic impossible.
Zvaničnici u BiH brinuli su da će se mostom -- za koji je prvobitno planirano da bude visok samo 35 metara -- blokirati izlaz njihove zemlje na Jadran, remećenjem pristupa luci Neum i onemogućavanjem morskog saobraćaja.
