This slide shows the geographic location of Croatia in relation to important pan-European corridors. 3 3

4. Pan European Corridors
Pan-European transport corridors in the Republic of Croatia:
Vb – Budapest-Varaždin-Zagreb-Rijeka
Vc – Budapest-Osijek-Sarajevo- Ploče
VII – Danube river
X – Salzburg-Villach-Ljubljana-Zagreb-Beograd-Skopje-Thessaloniki

VII – Danube river
X – Salzburg-Villach-Ljubljana-Zagreb-Beograd-Skopje-Thessaloniki
Xa – Graz-Maribor-Zagreb

5. Transport Corridors Established in Chapter 21
During the accession negotiations with the European Union and consequent closure of Chapter 21 “Trans-Europan Networks” ,
this map showing the future development of the transport infrastructure in the RoC was agreed upon.

6. CROATIAN TRAFFIC AND DEVELOPMENT AXES
This slide, which is a part of the spatial planning of the Republic of Croatia, only confirms that RoC, regarding the transport network which will be connected to the European transport network, remains at the same development axes.

7. Transport Infrastructure Network
km roads (public)
2720 km railways
804 km inland waterways, 2 lakes and 4 ports (lakes in national parks, tourist boats)
6 main maritime ports (Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Šibenik, Ploče, Dubrovnik)
9 airports (7 international- Zagreb, Osijek, Pula, Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, 2 local- Brač, Mali Lošinj)
Transport network of the Croatia’s infrastructure includes:
Road network: km of public roads
Railway network – km
Inland Waterways (Sava, Dunav, Kupa, Drava) km, with four ports (Sisak, Slavonski Brod, Vukovar and Osijek) and two lakes in national parks (Visovac and Kozjak)
The system of sea ports include 6 state owned ports (Rijeka, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Ploče and Dubrovnik),
and the system of air ports include 9 main airports (7 international: Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Pula, Rijeka and Osijek, and two small air fields: Brač and Mali Lošinj)

8. Public Expenditure and Investments
Million kn
The level of Croatian transport infrastucture development, especially of the road sector, has greatly influenced the overall development of the country.
This slide shows financial investments per transport sector in the past decade.

9. Goals
Growth of infrastructure in response to identified flows of goods and rise in the volume of goods traffic and related services will enhance:
competitiveness of the Croatian economy
competitiveness of the Croatian transport system
number of jobs
Incomes
Instead of conclusion: TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE A CROATIAN EXPORT PRODUCT
Rehabilitation and construction of transport infrastructure are of national importance having a direct impact of the competitiveness of economy, number of jobs and, of course, generated total income.
The results achieved so far can surely be considered Croatian export product. 9

10. Pelješac Bridge € 320 million
Current public roads network with highlighted motorways network.
One of the main national priorities in the road sector is the construction of the bridge Pelješac – mainland.
The rationale of this investment is to establish “solid” link between all parts of Croatia. The bridge will enable the Dubrovnik-Neretva County to have an uninterrupted road connection with the rest of the country; this will promote the development of Dubrovnik, Pelješac peninsula and the whole territory of this southern county.

11. Pelješac Bridge
Dubrovnik-Neretva county is physically separated from the rest of Croatian teritory. The construction of the bridge across the Mali Ston canal will provide a link with Dubrovnik-Neretva county thus securing for all parts of Croatia to be in one road network.

12. Railway network Total network length 2 720.0km Single track 2 465.7km
Double track km
Powered by electricity km
/35.6% of total length/
This slide shows the existing railway network in the RoC.

IPA
Line up-grading and modernisation section Okučani - Novska - corridor X
Line up-grading and modernisation section Dugo Selo - Novska, phase I – corridor X

Railway line Botovo – Zagreb – Rijeka - corridor Vb
Important for connecting central Croatia and the Adriatic
Important for improving the European regional connectivity: the shortest railway link between Hungary, other central European countries and the Mediteranean
The railway network, including this railway line, has been agreed upon in negotiations within the Chapter 21 “Trans-European Network”

15. Construction scope and phases of the new lowland line Zagreb - Rijeka
Legend
The future railway line Botovo – Zagreb – Rijeka, as per its transport-tehcnological and geographical features, includes 4 specific sectors:
I. Botovo – Koprivnica – Križevci – Dugo Selo
II. Zagreb Nod
III. Horvati – Karlovac – Skradnik – Drežnica – Krasica
IV. Rijeka Nod
To fulfil all envisaged technological conditions and technical-technological capacities for the planned transportation capacities and conditions along the whole corridor, it will be necessary to construct some new railway sections or upgrade and construct second track alongside the existing rail, increase station capacities and modernise the equipment.
All railway lines, as parts of trans-European transport corridors, will have to fulfil the required EU conditions with all materials, equipment and machinery being in line with European norms and technical specifications and furnished with required certificates.
Freight transport will prevail along the whole corridor (60%-80% depending on the sector), however the passenger transport will also be significant at certain parts of the corridor (section Koprivnica-Zagreb-Karlovac).

24. Sea Ports
PORTS AS A PART OF TRANSPORT CORRIDOR 6 ports of particular interest for Croatia – Rijeka (corridor Vb), Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Ploče (corridor Vc) and Dubrovnik
RIJEKA
ZADAR
ŠIBENIK
SPLIT
PLOČE
DUBROVNIK
Ports of particular interest for Croatia
Distance to Port Said= 1254 Nautical Miles
to Gibraltar= 1608 Nautical Miles
Sea transport is the most efficient, the safest and ecologically the most acceptable mode of transport which is responsible for almost 90% of the total world transport of goods. The position of the Adriatic Sea penetrating deep into the European territory and its navigation characteristics make the Adriatic ports very attractive for transit of goods from Central and South-East Europe.
The seaports along the Adriatic coast, and especially the port of Rijeka, have become even more attractive after the upgrading of Croatian transport network which ling Croatian ports with transport network in Slovenia, Austria and Hungary. The port of Ploče is important for the transport of goods into the Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Distance to Port Said= 1023 Nautical Miles
to Gibraltar= 1390 Nautical Miles
