commercial banks, European Union grants, and own funds. The length of the section is 14.2 kilometers. According to the conceptual design, the construction of the Mostar North interchange with a side toll station, five tunnels with a total length of about six kilometers, and ten
viaducts/bridges with a total length of about two kilometers is planned. The length of the open route is about six kilometers.

The start of construction works is planned for the first half of 2023, with a completion deadline of three years.

With two major infrastructure projects such as the Prenj tunnel and Mostar North – Mostar South, the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be fully connected to European road corridors, to the north with Corridor X, and to the south with the Adriatic-Ionian highway, which will bring direct benefits to the entire society through the development of the areas it passes through, the business community, and tourist potentials.
