The ministry allocated the largest portion of funding, 550,000 KM, to regulate the left bank of the Zujevina river in Hadžići over a 110.42-meter stretch. Additional funds will support regulating the Zujevina river in Pazarić, cleaning the riverbed between Hadžići and Binježevo, and emergency interventions in Pazarić and Tarčin.
Minister Mijatović explained these investments directly improve the safety of residents and protect property. The projects include building 750 meters of protective fencing and addressing sewage disposal into the Zujevina river by connecting it to the main sewage collector. Construction on regulating the Zujevina river in Hadžići and cleaning waterways in Tarčin is already underway. The Canton Sarajevo Construction Institute will oversee the work, with all projects scheduled for completion by the end of November 2026.
