Gofas told a press conference that EAR’s €5 million donation will finance reconstruction of nine sections of the 30.2 kilometre M-25 main road from Kladovo to Nis.
Reconstruction of this crucial traffic artery for the region of eastern Serbia will speed up economic and tourist development, he said and recalled that reconstruction of the Kladovo-Nis section is part of EAR's project of supporting modernisation of 15 municipalities in eastern Serbia.
