Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says his government plans to spend US$10.76 billion (€8bn) on improving road infrastructure until the end of its term in office in April 2016.
The plan includes the construction of 140km of motorways and expressways before April 2016, while a further 310km are hoped to be under construction, and 200km should be ready for the start of the building works.
Fico says the completion of the D1 motorway remains the priority of the government, and that by the end of his term in office all of D1 stretches will either be completed or at least under construction.
The Transport Ministry will continue to use EU funding towards the development of road infrastructure in the country, but Fico has said that around €260 million per year could be found in the state budget towards financing of PPP projects.
