Belgrade,

Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic stated that today’s decision by EU finance ministers to adopt an investment framework for the Western Balkans is very significant because the new mechanism will enable more infrastructure investments in the region, and consequently, in Serbia.

In an interview for the FoNet news agency, Djelic said that EU ministers adopted a plan which does not envisage additional funds for the region, but should facilitate and speed up investments and loans for infrastructure projects.
He recalled that Serbia has already received €2.2 billion from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) for infrastructure projects, and specified that the funds were intended for the road network (€400 million), the railroad network (€250 million) and for the Serbian Power Industry (€200 million).
He added that the future government and parliament should ratify €200 million in loans by financial institutions for roads and nearly €80 million for clinical centres in Serbia.
Djelic said that a new law on concessions for local infrastructure should be adopted and also give priority to Corridor 10, motorway to the Montenegrin border, as well as roads that will give citizens better living conditions, which also includes the Belgrade ring-road.
He announced he will lead a Serbian delegation to the EBRD and ask for accelerated negotiations for the railway to the amount of €100 million and €50 million for the National Investment Plan.
