Serbia has entered into “in depth” negotiations with two Chinese companies for concession contracts along the Corridor 11 motorway between Belgrade and the Montenegrin border.

Shandong High Speed Group and the 3366 China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) are the two Chinese companies that have passed the pre-qualification process. The project value has not been mentioned.

Serbian vice president Zorana Mihajlovic said that the Chinese have requested guarantees for transport and Serbia is considering this and other issues.

Under discussion is a concession for the 17.6km section between Surcin and Obrenovac, a 31km section between Preljina and Pozega and also a 103km section between Obrenovac-Preljina.

Mihajlovic recently said that the Corridor 10 motorway is expected to be completed by the end of 2016 and that the sufficient funding has been secured. She noted that in the past year, 58km of the motorway was been paved and another 120km is expected to be paved this year. Greek company 5467 Terna is the contractor.

Corridor 10 is one of the most important pan-European transport corridors that runs through Serbia to connect Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece. The goal is to create a transport system within Serbia that will be compatible with that of the 1116 European Union.

Cities connected along the main route of Corridor 10 are Saltsburg in Austria, Ljubljana in Slovenia, the Croatian capital of Zagreb and the Serbian capital Belgrade, followed by the southern Serbian city of Nis and then the Macedonian capital Skopje, to Veles and then further south into Greece to the port of Thessalonica.
