Minister Pavlova presented the major road projects for public-private partnership in Bulgaria

The funds provided by the European programs for infrastructure projects are not sufficient, so Bulgaria is open to public-private partnership. Black Sea Highway and the connection Bulgaria-Rumania through Vidin are the strategic road projects for public-private partnership. We plan the construction of Vidin-Botevgrad speed road. The projects of great priority were presented on the 4th forum for Economy and Trade in Beograd, Serbia by the Minister of Regional Development and Public Works. The event is part of the Initiative for collaboration between from the Central and East European countries and the Republic of China.

Strategic and important priority for both countries, Bulgaria and Serbia, is the project that runs along corridor 10.

Rila highway is a significant project and it is a connection to three European corridors, explained Minister Pavlova.
