Hundreds of trucks blocking roads across BiH

(Patria) - Starting at 6 AM today, supply chain blockades organized by the Consortium Logistika BiH began across BiH.

Although passenger traffic is not blocked, it is slow and cautious on some routes.

Blockades have been recorded in Tešanj, Sarajevo, Krajina, Zenica, Mrkonjić Grad...

Carriers cite the following reasons for the protest:

- All demands are known to the authorities; their fulfillment was promised, but nothing has been done.
- The goal is to restore dignity and protect professional drivers.
- The state has not stopped the illegal arrests of drivers – although ministers Forto and Konaković promised action.

- The transport sector has suffered damages of 243 million KM due to illegal obligations.
- MKT BiH has transferred state sovereignty in technical standards to other countries.
- Instead of solutions, new working groups are being formed, while some officials are threatening and blackmailing carriers.
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not resolved bilateral issues with neighboring countries.
- Digitalization has been halted – procedures continue to follow an outdated model.
- Minister Košarac has not improved the work of the Veterinary Office or the coordination of inspections.
