MUNICIPALITY LOCATION
Today, the municipality of Brod is spreading on a surface of 228 km2. Brod is a flat agricultural area and it is surrounded by municipalities: Derventa, Doboj, Modriča, Odžak and Slavonski Brod in the Republic of Croatia.
The development of Brod was influenced by the important longitudinal road of Posavina and the main railway junction: Ljubljana – Zagreb – Belgrade. Beneficial geographic position has enabled good traffic connections between the municipality and the surrounding countries and beyond. Brod Municipality lies on the main road Sarajevo – Zenica – Doboj – Derventa – Slavonski Brod looking north to south. Right east – west is also connected via Banja Luka – Brod – Bijeljina and further east. In addition to this municipality, Brod is located only 5 km from the motorway “Zagreb – Belgrade” and in the future in the “5-C” corridor, which should be 20 kilometers east of Brod and connect Ploče – Sarajevo – Osijek – Budapest.
It should be noted that according to the Spatial Plan of Republika Srpska, the construction of the Brod – Modriča railway line is planned. Certainly, one of the most important infrastructural facilities is the existence of a border crossing and the bridge itself on the Sava River connecting the Brod Municipality in Republika Srpska with Slavonski Brod in the Republic of Croatia.
