The financial agreement on the projects for cross-border cooperation between
Serbia and Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, worth 50m EUR, was signed on March 27th
in Pirot.
The agreement, of which realization will take the next three years, was signed
by the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia, Božidar Đelić, and the Head of the
delegation of European Commission in Serbia, Žozep Ljoveras.
Following the signing of the agreement in the building of the Town Hall of
Pirot, Đelić said that he expected that both Pirot and the south of Serbia
would benefit from that agreement.
- Pirot has, so far, received 4m EUR from "CARDS programme", 2.5m EUR
of which came from EU, and 700,000 EUR from the cross-border cooperation – said
Đelić. – We expect the south of Serbia to obtain up to 4m EUR per year from
this agreement.
Đelić said that all citizens of Serbia would be backed by the funds from
that agreement, and he said that Serbia was grateful to “European Commission
and the citizens of Europe for the solidarity they have shown in spite of the
crisis”.
The Head of the delegation of European Commission in Serbia, Žozep Ljoveras,
said that, by signing the agreement in Pirot, EU wanted to “show that Serbia is
not only Belgrade”.
Ljoveras said that EU had financed realization of plenty of projects in Pirot to the date.
- We backed construction of the sports hall, Historical Archives, opening of the Municipal Service Center, Tourism Organization and construction of the regional dump – said Ljoveras. – We are working on the development of Corridor 10, which is of great significance to the whole region, and we are going to enable opening of the railway crossing with Bulgaria before summer.
