For the first time, 11 hectares of free zone territory is being extended to the underdeveloped and devastated neighboring municipalities of Dimitrovgrad and Babušnica. The expansion will see the creation of 121 jobs. Eco Rubber will start production in Dimitrovgrad in 2019, investing EUR 2.5 million in a new plant recycling waste tires – fDi Magazine writes.
Free Zone Pirot also won a Special Award for Connectivity:
– Construction of the Pan-European Corridor X, which connects the city of Belgrade to Sofia and Istanbul, will bolster Free Zone Pirot’s strategic position in the Balkans. The interchange that connects the Corridor X highway and the zone is located 300 meters from the entrance to Free Zone Pirot. A logistics center has also been constructed with two main infrastructural parts: a rail-road terminal plus 35 hectares of infrastructure land for warehouses, plants and other supportive facilities, which will enable haulers to shift transit goods from road to railway.
Regarding the expansion, an investment of EUR 50 million is planned in the upcoming period by the existing users of Free Zone Pirot, it is announced on the zone's website.
