Ploče is a town and a notable seaport in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of Croatia. Ploče is located on the Adriatic coast in Dalmatia just north of the Neretva River delta and is as such the natural seaside endpoint of most north-south routes through the central Dinaric Alps. This makes it the primary seaport used by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the endpoint of the Pan-European corridor 5C. Ploče was named Kardeljevo after the Yugoslav politician Edvard Kardelj between 1950 and 1954 and again between 1980 and 1990. The Port of Ploče was first mentioned on 6 November 1387, but the building of a larger port was done in recent modern times. Work on the present-day harbour first began in 1939 but was destroyed during World War II. It was rebuilt in 1945 and the village of Ploče grew up to 480 residents in 1948. After the Adriatic Road and Neretva railway lines were built to the port in the mid-1960s, the town experienced a steady growth. Bosnia and Croatia are currently in negotiations as regards the establishment of a "privileged economic zone" for Bosnian businesses within the Ploče port facilities, though this development is hindered by the opposition of local government, and Croatian people to the concept of a partial loss of sovereignty over the port. _____________________________________________________________________________ We welcome you to comment, click the 'thumbs up' / 'like' button if you enjoyed the content and please click to subscribe; subscribing is TOTALLY free and helps with our channel.
