Agreement Signed Between JP AUTOCESTE FBiH and PD IGMAN, KONJIC – Construction of a New Ammunition Testing Range to Begin Soon

Konjic, March 27, 2025 Today, an agreement was signed at the premises of IGMAN d.d. Konjic, addressing safety concerns related to the use of the open ammunition testing range of the IGMAN military industry factory during the construction and operation of the motorway section on Corridor Vc: Ovčari – Konjic – Prenj Tunnel – Mostar North.


The motorway route for this section, just before entering Prenj Mountain, runs through the Bijela Valley, southeast of Konjic. In the same valley, in the foothill area known as Rakov Laz, is the testing range for ammunition produced by the IGMAN factory. The agreement defines safety protocols for the use of the open testing range and outlines the phases for developing the conceptual design, aligning the motorway route with the ammunition test trajectory, designing the new open testing range, drafting the main project, obtaining the construction permit, and ultimately building and commissioning the new facility.


The agreement was signed by the directors of JP AUTOCESTE FBiH, Denis Lasić, and IGMAN, Adnan Prevljak.


"We have previously emphasized the importance of this motorway section, which is part of the Pan-European Transport Corridor connecting Budapest to Ploče on the Adriatic coast, as well as one of its key infrastructural projects – the Prenj Tunnel. By signing this agreement with IGMAN, we have finalized the alignment of the motorway route, its associated structures, and the platform for the construction of the Prenj Tunnel with the ammunition testing range trajectory, creating the necessary preconditions for further work on this section," said JP AUTOCESTE FBiH Director Denis Lasić.

The agreement defines the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. According to IGMAN's director, the construction of a new, modern facility will resolve a decades-old issue with the existing testing range, which was inadequate in terms of accessibility.


"From our side, I can express satisfaction with resolving the issue of the open ammunition testing range and the construction of the Corridor Vc motorway section. With this agreement signed with AUTOCESTE, the IGMAN military industry factory will receive a completely new open testing range, built to the required standards. I can confidently say that this is yet another step toward modernizing our factory, which I consistently emphasize as a crucial factor for business expansion", said IGMAN Director Adnan Prevljak.


The agreement also specifies the construction timeline for the testing range, which will follow the dynamics of the motorway construction.
