CONSTRUCTION OF CORRIDOR 10 TO BE JOINTLY FINANCED BY GOVERNMENT AND
COMPANIES
BELGRADE, September 5 (Beta) - Yugoslav VicePremier Miroljub
Labus said on Sept. 5 that the construction of the section of the
international traffic corridor 10 running through Serbia will be
jointly financed by the government and by Yugoslav companies.
The Serbian government is soon to set up a company for corridor
10. Private investors will be able to participate in the company's
capital boost, but the state will keep 51 percent of the shares, Labus
said at the opening of the international conference on corridor 10, at
the Intercontinental Hotel.
Labus explained that the state will invest land and the
existing infrastructure in the company, and said the company will "also
be open to Yugoslav investors."
He said he believes that as early as the beginning of next
year all agreements regarding the construction of the corridor will
have been concluded, and he said loans will make up the smallest part
of the funds.
Labus pointed out that the Serbian government has already
allocated funds for the construction of the BelgradeNovi Sad section of
the highway, adding that the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development and the European Investment Bank have approved loans for the
construction of 870 kilometers of the highway.

Corridor 10 to create 100,000 new jobs
September 07, 2002
Belgrade, Sept. 6, 2002 - Construction of Corridor 10,
linking Western and Southern Europe, will begin next year,
with an 800-km section, or one third of the road to run via
Yugoslavia. Attending a conference dedicated to the
construction of Corridor 10, Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister
Miroljub Labus said that the project will create over 100,000
new jobs over the next several years, radio B92 reported.
"Our estimates say that around 15,000 workers will be
mobilised for construction works, and a further 7,000 for
construction of accompanying facilities. We also predict that
another 100,000 people will be indirectly engaged for
expanding business along the Corridor over the next several
years," said Labus.
Serbian Minister of Transport and Telecommunications Marija
Raseta-Vukosavljevic said that the financing of the Corridor
10 section in Yugoslavia calls for EUR2 billion. "The state will
secure part of the funds from the budget and land and
infrastructure value assessment, while the remaining sum will
come from foreign and domestic investors," said
Raseta-Vukosavljevic.
The Serbian government will set up a company for construction
of Corridor 10 and will be the majority owner while private
sector partners will be allowed to acquire up to a 49 percent
stake in the company. Yugoslav Central Bank Governor
Mladjan Dinkic said that the company establishment and
financing will not push Serbia into further debts.
"The plan to complete the Corridor 10 section in Serbia by the
2004 Olympic Games in Athens is ambitious, but feasible," said
Dusko Vujovic, an advisory at the World Bank.
"Corridor 10 - road of development and integrations"
conference was organised by the G17 Institute, the Alma
Kvatro advertising company and public relation agency
Olaf&McAteer. Similar conferences will be held quarterly.
Europe does not have a single road directly connecting Austria
and Greece. This is why eight European countries will launch
construction of Corridor 10 early next year. The Corridor will
link Western and Southern Europe, with an 800-km section, or
one third of the road to run via Yugoslavia.

Macedonia inaugurates construction of pipeline to Kosovo

Macedonia inaugurates construction of pipeline to Kosovo
Sat Sep 7,10:46 AM ET
SKOPJE, Macedonia - Macedonia on Saturday marked the start of the
building of a key pipeline for oil products between the capital of this
Balkan country and Kosovo, neighboring Yugoslavia's troubled NATO (
news - web sites)-run province.
In a ceremony inaugurating the construction, Macedonian Prime Minister
Ljubco Georgievski said the pipeline will take about two years to build
and cost dlrs 35-40 million.
The pipeline, funded entirely by Greece - Macedonia's southern
neighbor - will stretch 100 kilometers (60 miles) and ferry oil
products from the Okta oil refinery in Skopje, the Macedonian capital,
to Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.
The pipeline, owned by Greece's Hellenic Petroleum S.A. giant, is
expected to enable a yearly flow of 300,000 tons of oil products such a
gasoline and heating oil, alleviating the burden of transporting crude
oil derivatives by road.
The new oil artery for Kosovo became possible after a pipeline linking
Macedonia's main oil refinery to the northern Greek port of
Thessaloniki opened in June.
Greece owns a 69.5 percent stake in the Okta refinery and is
Macedonia's largest foreign investor, with more than dlrs 300 million
invested in various ventures over the past few years.
Relations between the two Balkan neighbors have improved in the past
few years despite a continued disagreement over Macedonia's name.
Greece contends that the usage of the name Macedonia for this country
masks territorial pretensions over a northern Greek province of the
same name.
Kosovo officially remains part of Yugoslavia, which borders Macedonia
to the north, but has been run by the United Nations ( news - web
sites) and NATO since 1999, when the military alliance bombed Serb
troops to stop former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic ( news -
web sites)'s crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.
