This bridge is a disgrace, environmentally, economically and every other way, it is just because Balkans people cannot rely on each. Cutting off Bosnians access is also a disgrace. I'm sure this bridge is making a few selected people very rich. Cutting off Bosnians ? Are you just ranting for fun, or there is some relevance in this statement ? I will not discuss if it is just ranting ... too busy, sorry.

The whole idea of a bridge is idiotic, a human made border, means a bridge has to be built when there is perfectly good land? Only in the balkans.

huh ... okay then ... Well, Bosnia does not have Port, or there is possibility for Neum to become one. Bosnia has agreement with Croatia about exploiting resources in port Ploce, it's transit and "tax free" zone too.
Anyway, position of the bridge itself, is not preventing Bosnia to build some port in Neum (if hypothetically it was possible), and have clean and open entrance in international sea Waters.
Bridge is part of wider project, and it is not Croatia's project "against Bosnia". It is of EU's interest. Croatia does not have money for it, and it was not priority ...
In other hand, to have "border" in the heart of south Dalmatia is very tricky issue, and many problems was related to it ...
In past, whenever Bosnia wanted to open some "conflicting issue" with Croatia, usually to play "conspiracy victims some more, whenever possible (very successfully, as I see even from your post)". Bosnia was many times messing with "border regime" in Neum (on the edge of a blackmail), to have nice excuse to drag Croatia in "internal Bosnian problems", and then accuse it for "messing with internal Bosnian politics, on side of Bosnian Croats".
This are facts, and not my nationalistic rantings ...
