Serbia not to get world's largest solar park?

As the things are now, it is most likely that the pompously announced construction of the world's largest solar park in Serbia is not going to happen. Those competent claim that they had doubts from the very start.

In the meantime, there have even been some claims that Serbia will pay compensation to the foreign partner because the previously announced large investment in the construction of Europe's largest solar park in the south of our country will most probably fail to take place.

However, Assistant Minister of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection Dejan Trifunovic says that these allegations are not true.

The daily newspaper Kurir wrote on Friday, citing an unnamed source, that an agreement on this deal had been concluded under unfavorable terms for Serbia, adding that all conditions were met for the Securum Equity International company to request a compensation of EUR 900,000 from the Serbian government on the basis of the breach of deadlines specified in the cooperation agreement.

Trifunovic told Tanjug news agency that the agreement signed between the Serbian government and aforementioned company contained no provisions obligating Serbia to pay any penalties or compensation.

As Trifunovic added, the state has fulfilled all its obligations towards Securum Equity and offered the company ten times bigger area than the requested 3,000 hectares to build a solar park on it.
