Vinci Airports wins concession tender for Belgrade airport

Belgrade, 6 January 2018

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic confirmed that French company Vinci Airports won a tender for concession for Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport and specified that the concession is worth €1.5 billion.

In a statement to the press, Brnabic said during the visit to the National Museum in Belgrade that the entire work has been done transparently, that a huge professional step forward has been made, which was demonstrated by the fact that the best companies from around the world participated in the competition.

She pointed out that this, as well as what the City of Belgrade concluded regarding the landfill in Vinca, is an example of a public-private partnership.

According to Brnabic, it is a message first of all to local governments that through public-private partnership, with or without elements of the concession, it is built with the money of the others and finally everything stays to the citizens of Serbia.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic congratulated Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and the government on the concession that went to the French Vinci Airports and recalled that the job started when he was prime minister, but a key part of the deal was made by this government.

He said that the total profit from the concession will be €1.468 billion, and that people may not understand how far Serbia has progressed and how different it is and better than four to five years ago.

Vucic pointed out that the government will receive €417 million of budget revenues, and €84 million will be given to citizens of Serbia - small shareholders.

If we hadn't made the company Air Serbia, we couldn't have gotten more than €50 million for the concession for Nikola Tesla Airport, the President said.

Vinci operates 35 airports in seven countries and three continents - 12 in France, 10 in Portugal, six in the Dominican Republic, three in Cambodia, two in Japan and one in Chile and Brazil each.
