Assistant Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of Serbia, Zoran Ilić, said that it was not difficult to choose a suitable location in Herzegovina because of the terrain, because, as he says, there are few of them, and added that there are two locations to examine.
Unofficially, it is a site in Mionići, west of Trebinje, and a site in the area of Zubac.
– We do not have too wide a choice and it will not be difficult for us to decide on the one that is the main one. What we will be guided by is that access surfaces will be provided. It is important that we do not have high obstacles 10 kilometers from both thresholds of the runway – Ilić pointed out.
Ilić added that, when it comes to the size of the airport, it depends on the location, but that he will try to make a runway that will enable the landing of the largest planes in the world.
