The pipeline was to be constructed in two phases. In the initial phase, expected to be completed by the end of 1976, all pipelines and oil pools were to be constructed at Omišalj, and in the second phase by 1978 all other installations and storage tanks were to be completed to enable the unloading capacity of 34 million tonnes of crude oil annually. At this stage, the pipeline was expected to cost US$ 350 million, of which Yugoslavia was to provide $ 30 million, and Hungary and Czechoslovakia $ 25 million each. The rest of the cost were expected to be financed by the

these pipes were not calibrated on the ends according to API specifications. In addition handling with improper loading equipment and shipment between
Bratislava and Osijek on improperly adapted ships resulted in damage to many pipe-ends, which meant that welding frequently could not be carried out on the site. This led to higher production costs. The Bosanski Brod–Vukovar section was put into trial operation on 29 April 1969.
