DINKIĆ: Ski-center on Stara mountain to be more attractive than Kopaonik

Minister of Finance of Serbia, Mlađan Dinkić, promised quick construction of ski center on Stara mountain, which should become "far more attractive center than Kopaonik" and "one of the highest incomes" from tourism in Serbia.

- Since, at the moment, there is only one small holiday hostel on Stara mountain, we will start over from the beginning. First of all, we have to organize 50 km of road from Svrljig to Stara mountain and make four-seat cable railway and one ski lift, so that, for the next season, we will have ski-track 2 km long, which is longer than the track on Kopaonik - said Dinkić.

He said that Austrian experts had worked on the master plan, which would determine location for construction of hotel and other tourism capacities on Stara mountain. After that, as he said, the investment "worth several hundreds of millions of euros" should follow.

- Although the construction of hotels on Stara mountain will be financed from Serbian private capital, I am sure that the foreigners will be the ones who will invest the most. Construction of ski-center on this mountain is the investment opportunity for Niš and other cities on the south of Serbia, as well as for Niš-based Airport – the Minister explained.
