A Chinese consortium that, without a tender and under an intergovernmental agreement, won the contract to modernise the railway, worth just over $1.16 billion, including works on the Novi Sad railway station, where the canopy collapsed. CCCC also won a €450 million section of the “Miloš Veliki” motorway through a direct deal, and hired as a subcontractor a quarry co-owned by Zvonko Veselinović and Milan Radoičić, who were later placed under U.S. and British sanctions. The Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime suspects former minister Momirović and others of damaging the budget through annexes to the contract.
