- After we agree on the details of the technical offer, we will be able to move on to the preliminary commercial offer. By the way, these talks were initiated by the Ministry of Energy and Mining, and the first official decision came from the Administrative Board of EPS. Now we expect the Government of Serbia to make some appropriate decisions of technical nature and that "Chinese National Corporation" submits the recommendation from the suitable institutions of the People's Republic of China for making it the project coordinator - said Jovanović.
The President of the Administrative Board of EPS, Dr. Aca Marković, pointed out on that occasion that the Administrative Board of EPS had made the decision on November 13th that the request for that project be forwarded to the Government of Serbia and that he expected that the Government would make appropriate decision within the next ten days.

As Čunšeng explained, that definitely should be used in order for the realization of the project in Kostolac to start already at the beginning of the next year.
