Summary/Abstract: Regional integration is one of the very important issues for the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Narrowing of spatial development initiatives to the transport dimension alone not only fails to contribute to regional development, but blurs it. If this is the mode of action, it brings into question the viability of the transport corridor itself. This article seeks to highlight the importance of transformation of the transport corridor Vc into a development corridor. Emphasis is particularly placed on the question whether there can be sufficient movement of goods and services for the Corridor Vc to be considered a potential development corridor. Following such approach, Sarajevo and Budapest can initiate cooperation in terms of development of the transport corridor (road and rail) into a logistics corridor, then trade, economic and finally development corridor.
