The Pelješac Bridge ((クロアチア語:Pelješki most)) is the name of a planned bridge in Croatia the construction of which had started in 2007 but stalled. A contentious political issue, the bridge was abandoned in 2012, but is currently still considered prospective. The bridge is intended to connect the Croatian peninsula of Pelješac, and through it the southernmost part of Croatia including Dubrovnik, with the Croatian mainland, spanning the Adriatic Sea, which separates the two near the Bay of Mali Ston and the Neretva Channel. The bridge construction has been a contentious political issue since the inception of the idea. The Croatian Democratic Union-led governments supported the project, but it did not progress past early construction phases. == Background == Because the Croatian mainland is intersected by a small strip of the coast around the town of Neum which is part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, forming Bosnia and Herzegovina's only outlet to the sea, the physical connection of the southernmost part of Dalmatia with the rest of Croatia is limited to Croatian territorial waters. In 1996, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia signed the Neum Agreement in which Croatia was granted unobstructed passage through Neum, but the agreement was not fully implemented in practice and instead all the traffic is still encumbered by border checkpoints. In the process of accession of Croatia to the European Union, the Croatian Government had claimed that a bridge would be a "prerequisite" for Croatia to enter the Schengen Area, but the European Commission stated in 2010 that this is only one of several options to handle the issue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pelješac Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
