Description
Objectives
The project concerns the modernisation and extension of the existing cement factory in Lukavac (North-East of Bosnia, near Tuzla) in the context of its recent privatisation to a foreign investor (Alas International Baustoffproduktions AG).
The proposed project will increase the competitiveness of Lukavac Cement, and hence benefit the liberalization of the domestic cement market. A well-functioning cement market, in turn, will benefit a number of infrastructure projects, which play a crucial role in the reconstruction of the country.
Environmental aspects
Procurement
