SARAJEVO, January 26 (FENA) - Citizens' Association ‘Ćiro’ held today in Ravna Planina, in Pale, a meeting with the High Representative Valentin Inzko on the occasion of the project for the construction of the narrow - gauge railway Bistrik- Pale.

After the meeting, Inzko said that as an advocate of the international community he has an interest in development of tourism in the country.

“In the 1960s or 1970s, one locomotive was transported to Austria for overhaul and it should be brought back to BiH. I want to help and promote this railway in order for it to be successful, as it was in the day when it was in operation,” said Inzko.

President of the Citizens' Association "Ćiro" Fadil Čordalija said that the first phase of the revitalization of the railway from Sarajevo to Pale has been completed. He added that it everything remains the same but the Bistrik station which would be relocated some 400 meters further because today there is a road on that location.

He stated that the "Ćiro" association turned to the administration of the City of Sarajevo with the initiative to turn the old Bistrik station into a technical museum.

“The project documents and compliance with the level of local communities have been collected and this phase has been completed and now what follows is the development of the project and signing of contracts,” said Čordalija.

Mayor of East Sarajevo Nenad Vuković said that this project is a joint interest of both, Sarajevo and East Sarajevo.

“The interest of the Municipality of Pale for this project is great, primarily because of its historical importance and the tourists from Sarajevo would have a connection to Mt Jahorina via this railway by taking a gondola in Ravna Planina. I hope that the project gets the support that it needs,” said Vuković.

The Bistrik-Pale Railway is planned to be 11.038 meters long.
