Government considers joining consortium for Italy-Scandinavia road project

It is now likely that municipal authorities in Sweden Norway, Denmark, Poland and the Czech Republic will create a consortium for the construction of the A-3 highway connecting Scandinavia with Italy. The initiative came from the Swedish government, which promised to help finance the investment. The Polish government withdrew from the project a month ago but is now reconsidering the plan. "The Swedish proposal is interesting and we are not excluding the possibility of changing our stand" says Tomasz Zielinski from the Regional Development Ministry. "We have been wanting to see this highway built for years, it would make the port more attractive", said a management representative of Morski Port Szczecin Swinoujscie, Krzysztof Zyndul. "However, the Polish government appears to be the least interested party in the investment". (Puls Biznesu, p. 10) A.Z.
