Belgrade,
4 October 2017
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Zorana Mihajlovic stated today that the construction of the first section of the Nis-Merdare-Pristina motorway, from Nis to Plocnik, according to the plan of the government and the European Investment banks (EIB), will begin next year.
Mihajlovic, who met with Director of the EIB for the Western Balkans Dubravka Negre, pointed out the importance of the so-called "motorway of peace", which will pass through Serbia in the length of 77 km, i.e., through Toplica and Nis districts.
She expressed the belief that this €212 million road can only bring new jobs and additional investments for more than half a million people living in those districts.
According to Mihajlovic, finalisation of the preliminary project funded by the Fund for the Western Balkans is under way, while the government has completed a spatial plan that will soon be considered at the session of this body.
Dimitrovgrad has approved €77 million of EU grant, which will be combined with EIB investments and funds from the government of Serbia in expropriation.
