Abstract

Looking for a sustainable solution for the development of the regional area, the City of Pirot, Republic of Serbia and Free Zone Pirot company established a public private partnership for the purpose of developing the Logistic Centre Pirot. This consists of a bimodal transport terminal together with an industrial park which will enable the attraction of new investors, decrease the level of environmental pollution, increase substitution of fossil fuels, decrease transportation prices and connect to the multimodal transport network.
