Dinkic announces new investment cycle on Mt Kopaonik

Kopaonik, 22 December 2009

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Regional Development Mladjan Dinkic announced a new investment cycle on Mt Kopaonik for 2010, recalling the state’s considerable investment in this tourist resort.

During a visit to the winter resort on Mt Kopaonik, Dinkic said that all facilities were ready for the opening of the skiing season. Afterwards, he toured the pistes and visited the new four-seat chair lift on Gobelja.

Now that visas have been abolished for Serbian citizens, Kopaonik will have to be competitive with foreign winter resorts, the Minister said, voicing his hope that the Serbian resort will easily be a match for them once new investments are in place.

At the Kopaonik tourist centre the skiing season opened two weeks ago and representatives of the public company Skijalista Srbije acquainted Dinkic with the company’s achievements in 2009.

The new four-seat chair lift at Gobelja has a capacity of 2,400 skiers an hour. Artificial snow generators have also been put into operation.

The existing pistes were expanded during the year and another 10 kilometres of new tracks constructed.

Infrastructure investment on Kopaonik in the period 2006–2009 total around RSD 2.2 billion.

Dinkic acquainted the representatives of the tourist sector with plans for further development in investment in Mt Kopaonik.
