Croatia is building a $500 million USD bridge linking its territories, that will potentially block Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Mediterranean Sea. To prevent Bosnia and Herzegovina from being landlocked, it owns a small strip of land along the Adriatic Sea. However, this land splits Croatia, causing border check logistics issues. To solve this problem, Croatia is building a bridge around Bosnia, called the Peljesac bridge. This bridge could increase connectivity between north and southern Croatia, improve tourism, and boost economic growth. However, it could also destroy Bosnia’s hopes of building a major port, causing political issues.

I have been crossing those borthers for the last 18 years. The bridge is more than necessary for people that have nothing to do on the Bosnian territory. The way police handles the border crossing in summer is shamefull. It can create 10 km of car lines on both sides. The bridge is absolutely necessary!
@@Plank-cn1we Da, I’m a half Croat living in the USA and I see this bridge as necessary and justified
As an American you have my American blessing. You should use this as a stepping stone to invade and claim what is rightfully yours. Some people should know when, they are conquered. So conquer my Crustacean friend!
@@Mynipplesmychoice haha classic american. thanx bro
The reasons given against the bridge are very ridiculous, coming from an Indian with no conflict of interests.
Which bridge or dam doesn't raise environmental concerns? Plus at half a billion dollar, it's not costly for the impact it'll provide.
@@Mynipplesmychoice Chill, no one is invading anyone here.. This is a non issue
The bridge will NOT block Bosnia or its ships in any way. It’s planned height is high enough for ships to travel below.
Given the long bridge and all the new highway, tunnels and viaducts that must be built, you have to wonder why they just didn't build a 4.5 km tunnel under the Neum Corridor. I'm sure they could have come to an agreement with their neighbor, Bosnia.
@@bluebox2000
This is abandoned option since several international studies have concluded all other options other than bridge would be considerably more costly, much more complex, less efficient, ... If you haven’t paid attention these studies are mentioned in this video!
@@fapmashina1 I paid attention. Much longer road tunnels than 4.5 km have been built all over the world. Adding the bridge, dozens of kilometers of new highway along with new actual tunnels and viaducts can't be cheap. This very much would seem to be a strictly political decision.
@@bluebox2000 Because it would be under BiH territory which is a huge minus, you never know what could happen with BiH, this way you have no possible future issues.
@@bluebox2000 - a Boring Company EV only twin tunnels would be very cheap. However they would need BiH permission.
I've crossed those borders something like more than 10 times, this bridge would make it much easier.
So it's the EU's fault, before 2013 the Neum corridor was passed with a wave of the hand, now the EU border has to be made strong against migrants.
Maybe you gonna avoid border but you will drive longer
@@MrSarajevoxxx You would prefer to take the longer way without customs as well if you ever waited 3 hours to cross the border.

I feel bad about that Croats in the past years needed boats to cross to the mainland Croatia. As a Bosnian, I have nothing against this, we should be allies here
Ehhh, bridge is a better solution, and they were naturally Bosnian since Ottomans controlled us, and Austrians controlled Croatia, there was a country called Dalmatia, which was later conquered by Venetians and after that, Austrians. There is no reason to blame us, watch this video here -> czcams.com/video/9zy_cGWiW_g/video.html

The Croatian bridge's "Clearance below" is 55m. The dimension you should look up for each vessel is "Air Draft" which specifies max. height of a ship above the sea. Even though there are some ships with the air draft of 55-65m, I don't think they will be targeting Neum anytime soon.

@@FN2166_ Ever been to Neum? The ships with air draft bigger than 55 meters don't have enough draft clearance to go to Neum. And, Neum is not the port feasible to make a container ship port any way.

@@dejancolic4679
Kakvu to molim te silu Hrvatska glumi prema BiH?! Nemoj pisati gluposti! Hrvatska i BiH su pregovarale oko detalja dizajna mosta preko DESET godina čime je značajno usporena realizacija istog a konačnim rješenjem višestruko povećana cijena mosta! Da glumi silu zar bi Hrvatska pregovarala i jednog dana sa prvim susjedima da i ne spominjemo prihvaćanje znatno vece visine mosta od 55 metara ispod mosta?! Ta visina ispod mosta je bila točni zahtjev BiH eksperata i ista je ugrađena u projekt, a sve je i službeno dogovoreno i potpisano između dvije država! Imaju li pojedini genijalci iz vaše zemlje predodžbu koliko je to ogromna visina?! I sve to kako bi se nekada, možda ali samo možda za nekoliko desetljeća u izrazito plitkom i majusnom zaljevu Neuma gradila grandiozna luka!
Ispod ovako visokog mosta mogu proći svi brodovi osim onih nekoliko posto na svijetu najvećih grdosija koje bi se sada nasukale u Neumu! A čitavo Jadransko more, talijansko, hrvatsko, crnogorsko... jako rijetko ulaze tako veliki brodovi iako su Italija i Hrvatska velike turističke države a uz Sloveniju i zemlje jakog teretnog prometa!
Zadnji put kad je u Jadranu bio malo veći teretni brod tih razmjera isti nije mogao uploviti u Trst zbog plitkoća luke već je morao pristati u Rijeci gdje je bitno dublji gaz! A vi palamudite o ogromnoj luci u Neumu!
Ovo je umjetno stvoreno pitanje koje forsiraju bošnjački političari za vaše domaće političke prilike kako bi pokazivali mišiće prema susjedima kad već trideset godina ne nude ništa drugo! Napokon, to su prepoznali i u EU jer nipošto ne bi dali 85% sredstava za gradnju mosta da nije sve ranije dogovoreno i čisto! Taj je projekt prošao zamornu višegodišnju analizu od strane EU stručnjaka ali i međunarodnih eksperata koji su se bavili i pravnim pitanjima!
E sad, drugi je par rukavica što dio BiH politike igra prljavo ciljajući na emocije i niske strasti dijela stanovnika BiH, što ignoriraju potpisane ugovore, ono sto su sami tražili i što bi najradije nastavili ucjenjivati još 30 godina kako bi imali s čime pokazivati koliko oni vode brigu o državi!
the coast isn't useless lmao, it gives the nation acess to the Adriatic and its ships can acess sea imports and exports.
Ehm, no, a usual panamax class freighter (the common freighters arriving a bit more north in Rijeka) are higher than 55 meters, which is the bridges clearance.
My family and I just drove across the new bridge two days ago while vacationing in the region. It saves a lot of time and will be a boon to the tourist economies of the whole Dalmatian Coast!
As a Slovenian I support the Bridge, it's a very good idea for Croatia. and I think the "Blocking Bosnia from open seas" thing is a non-factor, Croatia already has all control over that by simply not allowing a corridor to the open seas. It's the same thing in Slovenia, don't need any bridge between Italy and Croatia, Our access to the open seas is blocked simply by the territorial waters of Italy and Croatia meeting in front of our coast, and neither allowing a corridor between them for unrestricted access for Slovenia... Same thing for Bosnia, except there it's not Italy and Croatia cockblocking, it's just Croatia on 2 sides.
This bridge in not gonna “block” Bosnia and Herzegovina! This is absurd statement esp. since bridge design details, particularly bridge height (clearence) is agreed upon between Croatia and BiH after very long negotiations and this 55 meters has been specific request of the Bosnian experts alongside some other details! This hasn’t mentioned in this video but it is very easy to find!
Also it has to be known that only the worlds most largest ships wouldn’t be able to pass under this bridge although this kind of ships are very rare visitors of all Adriatic Sea although Croatia and Italy are huge tourist powers and with Slovenia also huge cargo ship routes!
This so called “issue” is fabricated by some of the Bosnian politicians as a means of showing muscles against Croatian neighbors for the sake of their domestic political agenda although all details of bridge construction have been agreed and signed between both countries long time ago! Also, during the past BiH used this matter as a leverage for the blackmailing Croatia for various concessions! Now they’re gonna be left without this instrument of political blackmails!
All true.👍

That's very sound and rational thinking! Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn't have real port in Neum at this moment but this bridge is projected high enough not to hinder possible sea traffic for at least very long future since building operable international cargo port in Neum would be massive undertaking hardly possible for any of the Ex-Yugoslavian countries and it is also very questionable would it be beneficial or destructive for the local Neum community that is relying on tourism. And BiH and Croatia have state agreements that are making Ploce seaport at disposition to the BiH cargo!
But even in case of building large port in Neum, 55 meters is high enough for many ships and there are much more congested international ports that do operate in circumstances of larger ships passing under somewhat lower bridges or in other unbeneficial circumstances like relatively shallow waters, small cargo surfaces etc...
Also, let us hope your beautiful country will join the EU someday and then there will be no hard borders between our two countries. 🇭🇷 👍 🇧🇦

It's really disappointing that even Futurology, which is overall a great channel, had to put a clickbaiting title. Even the video explains the opposite and directly negates the title. Not only is it annoying, but it's also sad.
Also, the video failed to mention a couple of important points:
1. "Croatia blocking Bosnia's entrance to the sea" is a low quality propaganda of Bosniak politicians. They didn't bring up that statement because they want the best for the country. They did it in spite. They even tried to get to the International Court of Justice and the European Commission to block the construction of the bridge, but neither the ICJ nor the European Commission took them seriously, since, as already stated, it was just a low quality propaganda.
2. A potential port at Neum is not even a concept. It's a myth, since it's impossible to build a port there. The sea in the Neum corridor is way too shallow for a port and the constructing an actual port there would take a century of digging, to make the sea deep enough for a port. Not a single country in the wider region has the money, labour nor power to do that.
3. People of Neum would also strongly oppose the construction of that mythical port, since the city of Neum is the only city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which lays on the Adriatic coast and attracts tourists. Building a port there would destroy the tourism of the city.
4. The bridge complies with every law out there and it's big and high enough for any vessel in the Adriatic Sea, to pass under it. Even the largest container ships which go to the largest container port in the Adriatic Sea, the port of Trieste, can pass under it. So saying that the bridge "isn't high enough" is a false statement.
5. The people of Neum Corridor don't oppose the construction of the bridge. They don't even care, since it won't change anything for them. Those who oppose the construction of the bridge are sitting in their comfy chairs in their offices in Sarajevo and have absolutely nothing to do with Neum.
Well said.
@@markthemurloc7011 AWFUL MADE IN CHINA BRIDGE

But if Bosnia wants to build a port and receive their goods directly, the ships are not going to be able to!
No it is not, there are not defined maritime border with Bosnia and Croatia. Croatians says that they are building on its own teritory, but Bosnian version says that they has access to open sea, including that small coridor under the bridge (UN law). Bosnians are probabbly right, but there are some Croat politicans in Bosnia who represents interests of neighboring country and has veto on desitions to prevent building bridge.

In 2013 I went thru those very border crossings. Overall that went smoothly but I thought at the time " there has to be a better way". Looks like they found it. Lovely corner of Europe to visit by the way
A ship twice as big can pass under the Peljesac bridge than it can sail into Neum port, and that is the truth.
Also, other fact is that in BiH there are no large ships, and the largest one registrated is 12 m long
Having sat for several hours in a bus between the two border check points when a person had a passport issue, I really like the bridge.

Did you drive trough old road on the way to Zagreb after we built highway? All restaurants are closed and villages are dead, because much less people are driving on old road. Neum will be isolated after bridge is done. So for all that people that support bridge, they should be careful what they wish for.

Of course, the reason why Muslim politicians ( not Bosnian-Herzegovinian, because Serb and Croat politicians in BiH have nothing against) oppose the construction of the bridge is not because it would hinder the access of ships to the future port.
The real reasons why BiH Muslim politicians are against building the bridge are as follows:
1. By building a bypass bridge, they will no longer be able to blackmail Croatia (blackmail by occasional closures and traffic restrictions through Neum - what they did in the past)
2. By creating tensions, they want to influence their people and additionally politically radicalize and homogenize them against Croatia and Croats.
The construction of the port is absurd because of many reasons:
1. Natural conditions do not allow the use of the port in a way that would be economically justified
2. Building a port would create an environmental disaster
3. The construction of the port requires huge funds (Railway, highway, large warehouses and terminals, etc., and BiH does not have that money, nor does anyone else want to invest billions of dollars in economically unjustified investment
4. The local BiH population is against the construction of the port and support the construction of the bridge, because the bridge means great benefit to them, and the port means the destruction of their economy - especially tourism.
5. BiH has given its consent to the construction of a bridge (with the only condition regarding the height, and which is accepted and the bridge of such height is being built)
Etc., etc ...
It should be noted that Croatia also offered BiH other solutions, such as the construction of a corridor across the Neum, but this was vigorously rejected by Muslim politicians in BiH without any real reason.
Consider that Germany had a similar issue with Poland before WW2 -- and it probably was a significant cause of WW2 then (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_Corridor).
This mans voice makes me calm and also very interested in the subject
While I fervently hope the future of the region is continuing stability and prosperity, the Croats are, I think, wise to avoid political border crossings in unifying the two parts of their country.
Due to its rather unusual shape, it always had problem with connectivity, and therefore was separated into many autonomous regions which resulted in economic inequality, with Central Croatia being as rich as Slovenia while Slavonia was as poor as Serbia.
Dubrovnik (and rest if pelješac Peninsula) used to be a rather rich snd prosperous kingdom due to its separation issues with rest of Croatia.
Connecting Croatia is a wise move indeed.
As a Croatian I am happy.
I have travelled from Dubrovnik to Split and from Korčula to Split and back again more times than I can count. This bridge is long overdue as being stuck at the Neum border crossing in the middle of summer is not fun.
I'm from Croatia and I'm very curious, How did you came to conclusion that this bridge will block Bosnia in any way?
I just wanted to ask the same question. I think it's just a bit controversial title to get more views.
Because they are budale teske eto tako su ustanovili da ce taj most blokirati bilo sta.
It will block Bosnia from having a port for trading
It's not blocking anything. Ships can pass under the bridge - like in any other place in the world.

How will they get rid of traffic jams in summer? Magic? You know traffic jams happen on borders and the population that lives there cannot simply get rid of it if the border police need to check passports.

Bosnia and Herzegovina does not have a port ,they use Croatian port Ploče and have special agreement with it.Small town Neum have acces to shallow waters only.
Just look up who built port in Ploče

This is cool, i hope the best for Croatia and Bosnia
Great looking bridge that should have been build long ago! It is not a question of whether Croatia has the right to build this bridge because of course they do. Croatia has the right to build on their territory and connect their sovergn state, and in so doing will connect all of Europe. All European leaders want this too.
Like it was pointed out by others, the only opposition was in Sarajevo By incompetent politicians sitting behind comfy desks who are trying to justify their jobs.I think that most Bosnian citizens will agree that the politicians in Sarajevo should be doing a lot more for its citizens then complain about a bridge that I will have zero impact on BiH.
I spend my summer in Dubrovnik and sometimes you have to wait for hours on the border so the bridge is a good thing
Fun fact Pelješac Bridge is now completed

Neum is 97-98% Croat inhabited and the local population supports the construction of the bridge so Bosnia and Herzegovina can't complain.

really well presented and researched. I am bosnian and as long as the deal to use the Ploce port is fair, I dont have too many objections in its existence. Neum is better as a tourist town.
Very rational, normal and fair comment!
Just so you know teritory of BiH was once Croatians but BiH never had the cost so thats why we have almost the whole cost. Great video btw.

Our Territory our Rules, and btw Neum is 99% Croatian City even its in "Bosnian" Territory. Bosnia will never have Docks for Ships so its blocking nothing.
I am from Bosnia, it does not block us, it can only help us
Yeahh! Even you guys agree!
Ah this channel is like Caspian Report 2.0.
I've watched the Caspian Report video before this
I have heard that several Bosnian supercruisers and even some aircraft carriers have been blocked. Can somebody confirm this?
Unnecessary untrue clickbait title which was even explained why in the video. Also a lot of facts are straight up not true, such as the bridge not being high enough and blocking cargo ships. To be clear, this is not a bad video, it just needed more clearance and research.
I live in Bosnia and i can tell you this bridge doesn't block anything. There is no cargo port in Neum even tho geographically it would make sense to have one in that location. But geopolitical situation and the fact borders are so messed up in that part make cargo port just a pipe dream.
I drive every summer to Dubrovnik from Zagreb and its so annoying to go through border chekpoints just to get to other side of my country. And after all Bosnia woulde probably never build a port beceuse Neum is way to small for that.

Cool video like everytime! Underrated channel :)
I would love to see you cover infrastructure projects in Bangladesh, like the rail line to Cox's Bazar or Padma Bridge. There are a lot of them going on! As an American it's exciting hearing about them.
This is an incredibly incorrect and just plain wrong video. Croatia did everything not to block the bay of Neum for large ships and in my humble opinion Croatia did too much because Neum cannot be turned into a harbor - the sea is too shallow there. Then for just being correct, the opposition to the bridge came only from the Bosnian Muslims. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a state of Bosnian Muslims. It is a state of Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims and only the Bosnian Muslims opposed the bridge. When Turkey built the bridges over Bosporus, they didn't ask anyone for permission, and that is one of the most important sea passages.
This was always Croatian land , before the war criminal Tito gave excess to Bosnia’s .
@@Batman-wv5ng I'm not sure if that's correct. As far as I know, Dubrovnik republic gave Neum to Bosnia (around 1700s) to prevent having a border with Venetia. Since then, Neum is a part of BiH, but it wasn't Tito who gave Neum to Bosnia, it was Dubrovnik.

Still waitin for the bridge. It’s gonna be done by November I think.
It’s finished. Last week.
Making cargo port in Neum? That is just plain crazy, if you ever saw how dense that town is built, and steep hill slopes its built upon. Plus that would ruin dominant tourist purpose of a town. Ploce port is still better for them.
Bridge expanse finished today! Last segment put in.
I live in croatia and it sounds like a really good plan
great way to start my day. With a new Futurology video
They have tried to ethnically clense Croats from Bosnia and Hercegovina. They tried make us non existent in BiH. They treated our people porly in the modern history and in the end chose who will represent Croatians in BiH and he's not even a Croat.... So I say, for the first time in my life that I am proud of our president and the decission to finally make a stand against those bullies and cut their funds. They're too gracious with letting them use the port of Ploče but they do it for our people in BiH. 🥂🥂🥂 Long live who ever made that bold decision and said "ENOUGH" to the low lives who run the governement in our neighbouring country!!!
Never saw such an bullshit lol
Herceg Bosna was never Recognized by anyone like Republika Srpska t(till Dayton agreement) and AP West Bosnia also HVO the Croatian army in Bosnia betrayed the Bosnian Army in Herzegovina also HVO did the most ethnic Cleansing after VRS and West Bosnia go learn some history wanna have my sources
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croat-Bosniak_War
You know whats funny.
The Chinese finished the bridge before European companies made access roads lol.
Same thing happened in Montenegro with their highway passing over mountains.
And Germans and French and so on complain that more and more European countries employ Chinese for their infrastructure projects.
Cant wait! Been waiting for this my whole life. To travel without a passport, ID, explanations etc., in my own beautifull Croatia❤
The bridge will not block anything. It esa projected enough high to allow the pass of big ships
I'm croatian but my grandparents and parents have a lot of land in Neum in kamenice and im glad they built the bridge less traffic 😅😂
hey, respect to you for a real good pronunciation of a real hard word -> Pelješac :)
This bridge isn't blockin anything or anybody. It's like saying the bridge on the Bosphorus is blocking Black Sea.
I'd like to suggest you create a video about "New Clark City" in the Philippines.
They should have added provision for rail - say for example making the bridge strong enough to support rails under the bridge (and making the bridge a few metres higher).
And add bicycle lanes too. Maybe footpath too. I hate all these fancy bridges made ONLY for cars.
There are no railways there.
rail trafic is not extremly used in croatia, but where it is it is to cross relatively larger distances (and because everyone needs rails to some degree). This south part itself is not that big and actually there is no rail southern of split, just one rail line from ploče to bosnia. even if there was rail traffic bridge that could handle that would be so expensive it wouldnt make any sense
Im bosnian and i know neum would never have a dock,brige is approved by me,smaller traffic on borders
It wont block jack shit. Ive seen the declarations of the ministers of both those countries and the photos of the bridge in construction. Croatia says all current ships going to bosnia will fit. Bosnia says they cant develop in the future.... insane argument from one of europes worst economies. Croatia is supposed to wait for bosnia to develop when they havent developed in 30 y? Bosnia is fine and just being a drama queen.
Big fact!
The clearance figure of 55 meters is what was demanded by Bosnian experts. I understand the point but should we discuss the bosporus bridge, too which is only a few meters higher in clearance?
@@sesvecan
55 meters clearance even the biggest canoes on earth can navigate under that bridge. I mean the biggest bosnian port can accommodate the most giant canoe in the world.
I think a lot of Croatians and even foreigners would be happy about this. I think it's dumb that Croatians need a passport to visit a section of their own country, just because Bosnia wanted access to the sea.
And Neum is populated by 97.56% Croats! They want the bridge!
What a title! 90% of the video is about the bridge itself and 10% about a potential blocking for gigantic ships which never ever would enter there.
SUPER VIDEO
One things is very important.The bridge will be constructed, on big probability of active earthquake zone
Just like the entirety of Japan, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and many many more. Earthquakes suck, but we need to grow up. Every minor quake now starts up news like it's the coming of the apocalypse.
Yea and modern bridges aren't built to sustain earthquakes...
Bosnia has no acces to sea because the name is Bosnia and Herzegovina, both have their regions and Neum is located in Herzegovina
