Belgrade,
11 January 2007
Serbian Minister of International Economic Relations Milan Parivodic announced today that the Serbian government will sign a concession agreement for the Horgos-Pozega highway to be inked within the next five days with Spanish FCC.
Parivodic said in a conference organised by the Foreign Investors’ Council (FIC) in Serbia that FCC, the world’s sixth largest road contractor, in cooperation with Austrian Alpina Mayreder, won the tender to build a section of the highway from the Hungarian border to Pozega in which they offered the lowest price of €1.3 billion.
He explained that the concession is granted for a period of 25 years and added that the contractor is obliged to build the106 kilometre long left track of the Horgos-Novi Sad highway, maintain 68 kilometres of Novi Sad-Belgrade highway and construct the148 kilometre Belgrade-Pozega highway.
The second-ranked bid was Serbian consortium PORR, followed by Strabagand Buig as third and Vinci and GNP as fourth-ranked, he said.
The Horgos-Pozega highway is part of the project to build a traffic artery to the Montenegrin coast whose total value is projected at nearly €3.5 billion, whereas the section through Serbia should cost around €1.5 billion, said Parivodic.
