It now looks as if Austrian financial sources will help fund construction of a key Czech highway connection. The Raiffeisenlandensbank Oberoesterreich, an Austrian Bank, says it will help fund the D3 highway in the Czech Republic. However, the bank says that its requirement for involvement in the project is that the link should be constructed under the PPP model. The highway will form a key transport connection with Austria but does not form part of the Czech Transport Ministry's strategy until 2025, although the bank sees this link as being a priority project.
