A Serbian daily newspaper has reported that Zezelj road and railway bridge, over the Danube river by the city of Novi Sad, is still in need of repairs, more than 15 years after NATO bombs destroyed it. Dnevnik wrote that it is unclear when the bridge will be completed, mainly due to disputes between the main investor, the national railways company Zeleznice Srbije (ZS), and a company that has been awarded the rehabilitation project, the Spanish and Italian consortium of Azvi, Tadei, Horta and Koslada. Deadline for the completion of the bridge’s repairs ended last year.
