Grant Description

China Eximbank pledges EUR 340 million loan for the 71.914 km Banja Luka-Doboj Motorway Construction Project On August 23, 2011, Autoputevi Republike Srpske — a state-owned motorway operator in the Republic of Srpksa — signed a preliminary agreement with China Road & Bridge Corporation (CRBC) regarding the 71.914 km Banja Luka-Doboj Motorway Construction Project.

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Srpska, Aleksandar Dzombić, announced that the agreement was the basis for loan negotiations with China Eximbank.
