Belgrade to get waste water treatment plant

The two agreements on initial research and planning for the project were signed by Construction and Infrastructure Minister Zorana Mihajlovic and CMEC official Li Suecheng along with Belgrade Water and Sewer CEO Dragan Djordjevic.  

The initial stages of the project will cost 271 million Euro and the construction of the plant itself in the Veliko Selo suburb will cost between 400 and 500 million Euro, a news conference was told. Another 100 million Euro will be needed to build four more waste water treatment plants.  

Mihajlovic said that Belgrade is the only European city which does not have a waste water processing plant, adding that the financial contract will be signed within six months and the research will begin immediately. She said that the project will be completed within five years of the signing of the financial contract. The minister recalled that some 190 million cubic meters of waste waters are flushed into the Sava and Danube rivers every year.
