Commencement of works according to cluster munitions clearance project Niš Constantine the Great Airport
– 7th phase site
On the 18th September 2021, with the introduction of contractor Millennium Team Ltd., Belgrade, into works, commenced the implementation of cluster munitions clearance project from the Niš Constantine the Great Airport - 7th phase site, area totaling 69,540 sqm.
The project has been developed at the request of Airports of Serbia Ltd., Niš, considering the planned construction works in the territory of the airport complex and the need to create conditions for safe execution of these works.
Funds have been provided through the Program of Assistance of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Serbia in the field of humanitarian demining, based on the Agreement on Cooperation between Serbian Mine Action Centre (SMAC) and International Civil Defense Organization (ICDO) for the period 2019-2022, which stipulates the provision of the assistance of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Serbia in this area through the International Civil Defense Organization.
Implementation of this project is of great importance to the Republic of Serbia and SMAC, because with the completion of clearance, the territory of the Niš Constantine the Great Airport, after more than twenty years of NATO bombing, will be declared cleared of cluster munitions.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the ICDO and the Russian Federation for the assistance provided in the implementation of this project.
