Bulgaria expects to lure Austrian investors into becoming concessionaires of a number of Bulgarian ports on the Danube, according to Ivaylo Moskovski, Minister of Transport, Information Technology and Communications.
"We have so far enjoyed a very good cooperation with Austrian investors and I hope that their interest in interest in our country will deepen in the future," Moskovski said Wednesday during the Vienna Economic Forum held in Sofia on April 3-4.
The Transport Minister illustrated his point with the projects for the modernization of the Septemvri - Plovdiv and Dimitrovgrad - Svilengrad railway lines, specifying that Austrian companies were contractors on certain sections of the tracks.
"We are now working on the concession contracts for a number of Danube ports, among which Ruse, Vidin, Lom, Nikopol and Tutrakan. Considering the huge importance of the Danube for Austria, we are hoping that these sites will attract investments on their part," he added.
