Bulgaria has agreed to pay EUR 185 M or a 35% more for the Lyulin highway, Regional Minister, Rosen Plevneliev informs.
The amount would be listed in an agreement between the State and the Turkish consortium Mapa Cengiz, building the highway, which is to connect the capital Sofia with the western city of Pernik.
Plevneliev said he still hopes the value of the project can go slightly down after further negotiations. The agreement has already been sent to Brussels with expectations the European Commission would consider the expenditures necessary.
Mapa Cengiz had originally won the competitive tender with a bid of EUR 138 M. Later cost estimates jumped to EUR 210 M, with the consortium asking for an additional EUR 73 M in funding.
