How to Build a Bridge...or .... not....
Disputed Bridge
Having been in the region, I can say that passing through customs in the region is not really that hard. In any case intelligent people in the region make sure to have a passport. Foreigners in the region are going to have a passport. Any emergency requiring a quick crossing might be better served by water or air transport in any case. I think a bridge, especially a modern one would look ugly anyway. Isn't beauty to be allowed as a consideration anymore?
And besides did the Croats REALLY ask the Bosnians?
We also are don't know whether ships might become larger one day and thus unable to cross under such a bridge and it would need to be a long bridge. Does anyone out there remember 'Galloping Gertie' ? That bridge became unstable in a high wind and simpley kept in motion even after the winds died down.
I never minded making sure I had my passport if we were perhaps going to Neum. I mean big fat hairy deal!

Well the Peljasic Peninsula gets this thing called 'bure' it's a really hard wind and i really think the whole bridge thing there is a BAD IDEA, because of the length all the open water etc etc but that aside they really needed to ask the Bosnians too! and make sure it's a yes. I realise in a nation with a three man presidency that gets tough too.
