Only one company is interested in the long-term lease of state property and the construction of a gas station at the Gornja Mrka rest area on the Smokovac-Mateševo highway. The tender for this job ran until March 17th, but the company requested an extension, so it will run until mid-April.
This was officially confirmed to "Vijesti" by the state-owned Monteputa.
A gas station with accompanying services is planned on a plot of land with a total area of 6.030 square meters located on the left side of the Smokovac-Mateševo section, while the land is being leased for 25 years at a minimum annual lease price of 60.300 euros.
This is officially the third tender, after Monteput initially announced individual tenders for two gas stations in Gornji Mrke in September 2023, for which there were no bids. A new tender was then announced at the end of December of that year, but there were no bids for the gas station on the left, which is why the public call expired on February 26, 2024. Monteput announced this third tender nine months later, in December last year.
