High Representative Wolfgang Petritsch applauded the agreement
reached among civilian air traffic administrations of the three
countries.
The air corridor will be opened for aircraft flying above 10,000

Zagreb and Belgrade as Bosnia-Herzegovina does not have the
technological capacities.
Authorities in Sarajevo will, however, have the right to
significant financial compensation.
Petritsch's office spokesman, James Ferguson, said almost 30 per
cent of all flight delays in Europe was caused by the fact that air
corridors above the region of the former Yugoslavia had been closed
off, and the opening of the corridors should contribute to an
improvement of the situation.
