The Ministry of Transport announced that the conditions have been created for the start of work on the reconstruction of the Đurđevića Tara bridge.
Today, a supplementary agreement was signed in that department on the implementation of the agreement on the donation of funds for the project to reconstruct the bridge on the Tara River, with the support of China.
The contract was signed on behalf of the Government by Minister of Transport Maja Vukićević.
"The contract defines that all costs of the works, including testing, design and execution of the works, will be borne by the Chinese side. The value of the donation is 51,8 million Chinese yuan (about 6,64 million euros), and the contractor will be the Chinese company Shandong Luqiao Group CO, ltd, in cooperation with domestic partners," the statement reads.
The Đurđević Tara Bridge, as they said, was recognized as one of the most important works in the field of design and construction in the world before World War II: "In the People's Republic of China, it left a strong impression through its depiction in the famous Yugoslav war film 'The Bridge' by director Hajrudin Krvavac, which was once one of the most popular achievements of the partisan genre."
The Ministry of Transport says that the bridge reconstruction project represents a "symbol of friendship" between Montenegro and China, as well as a good example of the successful implementation of donor projects.
