Preliminary agreements for construction of Stavalj Steam Power Plant and Bistrica Hydroelectric Power Station to be signed by year's end

Energy Minister Zorana Mihajlovic said last night in her guest appearance on a show of Jagodina's TV Palma Plus that the list of priorities of that ministry included 600MW Stavalj Steam Power Plant, which should use top-quality coal as fuel and emit no harmful gases, and pumped-storaged hydroelectric power station Bistrica, also with a capacity of 600 megawatts.

- This is something I expect, to have preliminary agreements signed by the year's end - said Mihajlovic.

- Novi Sad Thermal Power Station is also on that list - the minister noted, adding that "the construction of a nuclear plant is out of question".

These power plants will both directly and indirectly allow for the employment of thousands of people, Mihajlovic stressed.
