Feasibility of intermodal terminal in Free Zone Pirot to be studied

Belgrade, Jan. 26, 2010 (Serbia Today) - The Italian company “Logik” will study the feasibility of an intermodal transportation-logistics terminal to be located in the Free Zone Pirot. The contract for the study was signed by the CEO of Free Zone Pirot, Dragan Kostić; by the Mayor of Pirot, Vladan Vasić; and by a representative of “Logik,” Zeno de Agostino. The EUR 170,000 cost of the study will be financed mainly by European funds.

Free Zone Pirot is located alongside Corridor 10 in the vicinity of Corridor 8 and Corridor 4. If built, the 10ha complex within the Free Zone would consist of a container terminal, many warehouses and a terminal for reloading of goods from freight cars to trucks and other transportation, said Kostić. Agostino said his company was experienced in both the documentation and the construction of such centers. Vasić added that the project would position Pirot as the first transportation-logistics center in Serbia. “It would also improve the position of Pirot and the reputation it enjoys with investors who would have another big motive to come and invest in this town.”
