A 130-hectare investment destination with direct access to Corridor Vc is expected to become the country’s largest integrated business and industrial zone.

The Sarajevo Canton Government is planning the development of the largest business zone in Bosnia and Herzegovina, strategically located in Doglodi, between the Corridor Vc motorway and the Miljacka River. Covering approximately 130 hectares—an area equivalent to nearly 200 football pitches—the project is designed to meet the growing demand for large-scale investment locations and modern industrial facilities.

The future business zone will be divided into eight development lots, allowing investors to choose locations according to their operational needs. The lots range in size from approximately 68,800 square metres to 244,561 square metres, while a total of 470,000 square metres has been designated specifically for industrial development.

According to a Feasibility Study on Industrial and Business Zones in Sarajevo Canton, prepared by the Sarajevo Institute of Economics, the total investment required for the development of the zone is estimated at BAM 170 million (approximately EUR 87 million).

The Sarajevo Canton Government plans to finance the construction of the core infrastructure, including roads, utilities and a dedicated connection to the Corridor Vc motorway, significantly enhancing accessibility for future investors.

One of the project’s major competitive advantages is that a substantial portion of the necessary municipal infrastructure already exists, making Doglodi the most favourable location among several sites evaluated during the feasibility study.

Once fully operational, the business zone is expected to generate more than BAM 1 billion in annual business activity and create between 5,000 and 9,000 new jobs, making it one of the most significant economic development projects in the country.

The initiative responds to increasing market demand. Sarajevo Canton currently has 38 business zones, most of which are already largely occupied, relatively small—with an average size of around 20 hectares—and geographically fragmented. Large international investors increasingly require larger, integrated development sites capable of accommodating complex industrial and logistics operations.

During the site selection process, several locations—including Krivoglavci, Kute, Kovačevac, Tarčin and Duranovići—were assessed. Following detailed analysis, Doglodi emerged as the optimal location due to its strategic position, transport connectivity and existing infrastructure.

The principal challenge before construction can begin is resolving the legal status of part of the land, which remains under state ownership. Addressing state property issues is a prerequisite for the implementation of the project.

The business zone has already been incorporated into the Sarajevo Canton Urban Development Plan 2016–2036, with final adoption of the planning document by the Sarajevo Canton Assembly expected by the end of this year.

Upon completion, the Doglodi Business Zone is expected to become one of the most attractive investment destinations in Southeast Europe, offering investors large-scale development opportunities in a strategically positioned, infrastructure-ready business environment.Sarajevo Canton Plans Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Largest Business Zone
