Serbian Minister of Infrastructure Velimir Ilic at a press conference held at the Serbian government that this Ministry continued the work started by the previous government which has so far made 1,000 facilities and several thousand apartments from various programmes and paved around 3,000 kilometres of road with asphalt.

          Ilic said that great attention has been paid to reconstruction of roads in mountainous regions and gave the example of the Zlatibor-Kokin Brod road, leading to Kopaonik, and construction of infrastructure on Stara Planina mountain.

          He said that many local roads have been reconstructed in the Raska district, as well as in eastern Serbia where infrastructure has been neglected for years.

          He recalled that the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development approved two credit lines worth €140 million, intended for reconstruction of rail infrastructure and motor pool.
