The project will apply for EU funding to cover construction works to reconstruct the existing building and construction of extensions to ensure safe and undisturbed functioning of the airport.
Presenting the project, the airport's director Roko Tolic said that compared to Zagreb airport which opted for a strategic partner and issuing a concession for the airport, Dubrovnik would rely on its own know-how and competencies and that he was certain the project would be granted EU funding.
