I once stayed in an AirBnB north of Dubrovnik. Driving through Bosnia for 20 minutes and doing 4 passport controls at a time was a real pain. Also had to be careful to switch off data roaming as the towers weren’t in the EU so the data charges went through the roof.

They now built a bridge that allows drivers to avoid the border checks by staying in Croatia

Isnt that the bridge china sponsored?..

85% of the funding was provided by the European Union. It was one of Croatia’s main stipulations for joining the EU.
A Chinese state owned company did win the contract to build the bridge.

You know its never good when the us or china sponsor infrastructure. They always want something back that is not money. Usually its intelligence but you never know. There are plenty of examples of african countries “getting helped” and it turns out it was so they could be spied on.
