agreement on the construction of a section of a gas pipeline between the
northern Adriatic town of Pula and Karlovac, 50 kilometres southwest of Zagreb.
The agreement provides for the construction of the 53.8-kilometre-long section

The entire gas pipeline is 190 kilometres long, and it will be necessary to
invest some 90 million euros in the whole project.
In order to speed up its construction, the gas pipeline has been
divided into four sections.
The Austrian-Italian consortium won the international tender for
building the second section.
The work on this section should start in February and end in July.
Plinacro's chief executive, Branko Radosevic, announced the completion
of the entire pipeline in October this year.

finish the second section within six months and the consortium had also given a
financial guarantee for high-quality construction and compliance with the
terms and conditions of the agreement.
