The project concerns the rehabilitation of 139 km of single track railway from the northern border with Serbia to the southern border with FYROM.
This is a strategic transport project, including TEN-T. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the objective of Economic and Social Cohesion.
If situated in the EU, the project would fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU and would therefore be subject to a screening decision to determine whether an EIA procedure is necessary. The environmental procedure applied on the project as well as its potential for negative social impacts are to be further assessed during appraisal.
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that any procurement procedures are done in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement and the relevant applicable EU public procurement rules.
