The commitment to improving pedestrian and cycling infrastructure has been supported (a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the City of Bijeljina has been developed, a pilot project for the construction of 340 m of cycling paths has been implemented, and a plan for cycling paths has been created). In September 2019, the European Mobility Week was marked for the first time in the City of Bijeljina, featuring a continuous promotional campaign on the theme “Active Mobility,” through a series of activities carried out in cooperation with external partners. |

| CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Reduce the share of car use as the primary mode of transportation. Distances of two to three kilometres from the city centre are ideal for walking and cycling. More pedestrian areas, the establishment of cycling paths, improved sidewalk quality, better lighting, and more car-free zones would motivate citizens to walk and cycle. |
