The Government of he Herzegovina-Neretva Canton (HNK) signed contracts to provide financial support for Mostar Airport from the 2025 budget, marking the beginning of key projects designed to enhance regional transport infrastructure and tourism. The contracts were signed by Ministers Emil Balavac and Ivo Bevanda, along with Mostar Airport directors Marko Đuzel and Ibrica Berberović.
This initiative forms part of the HNK Government’s strategic plan to expand the capacity and competitiveness of Mostar Airport—an essential hub for connecting the canton with European and international destinations. A total of 1 million Bosnian Marks has been allocated, which will be used to co-finance regular commercial flights, promote the region’s tourism offerings, and invest in airport infrastructure.
Ministers highlighted that this financial injection is expected to boost passenger numbers, strengthen the tourism industry, and create new business opportunities for the local community. A particular focus will be on enhancing transportation links during the pre-season and post-season periods, thereby supporting year-round tourism and broader economic growth.
This measure aligns with the HNK Government’s broader strategy for balanced regional development, aimed at making cantonal tourism more competitive through sustainable growth initiatives and investment attraction. The contract signing underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring the airport's stable and continuous operation, which is vital for economic advancement and job creation.
The HNK Government remains dedicated to advancing key sectors and improving regional connectivity, with the ultimate goal of fostering a supportive business environment and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the canton.
