IFOR would continue the reconstruction of the Doboj-Volinja
railway section. The reconstruction, which will last until the
beginning of December, is part of a DM 3,2-million project,
financed by NATO, and its aim is to establish a full railway
service in eastern Bosnia-Herzegovina.
According to Boudreau, it was already technically possible to
travel along railway lines from Zagreb to Bosnia-Herzegovina via
Prijedor, Banja Luka, Doboj, Tuzla and Zvornik to Belgrade.
