PE Corridors of Serbia

A public enterprise that acts as the investor in motorways built by Chinese companies without a tender. The cost of the Belgrade–Zrenjanin–Novi Sad motorway rose from the announced €530 million to €1.596 billion, and the Fiscal Council questioned whether the nearly threefold increase was justified. In 2019 its acting director, Zoran Babić, was riding in a car that crashed into vehicles at a toll plaza near Doljevac. He submitted an irrevocable resignation, yet stayed in the post for almost two more years.
