- People from the World Bank told us to finish realization of the existing projects, especially those concerning Corridor 10, until the next meeting in Washington (April 2009), and then to ask for additional resources - Đelić explained after the talks with the Executive Manager of the World Bank, Ngozi Okonjo Iveala, with whom he met at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
