German, Spanish, French, Italian and Greek companies are among the expected concessionaires for the construction of a new Danube-Aegean motorway, said Rumen Markov, manager of Large Infrastructure Projects. Bulgarian companies do not meet the European requirement for having built and operated at least 150 kilometers of highway.
Talks have been held with the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which are interested in financing the project.
