With a total investment of EUR 400 million, the project represents the most significant environmental investment in Serbia.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Ambassador Tsutsumi toured the key facilities of the Vin\u010da Resource Recovery Centre, which spans 133 hectares and includes the Energy-from-Waste (EfW) Plant\u2014the first facility of its kind in the Balkans\u2014a new sanitary landfill, a leachate treatment plant, a landfill gas facility, and a construction and demolition waste recycling plant.<\/p>\n<p>H.E.

The other half, which is twice as large as stipulated under the PPP Contract, is disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Faster filling of the available space for the expansion of the sanitary landfill requires that the City of Belgrade start considering possible solutions. Beo \u010cista Energija believes that the expansion of the capacity for thermal treatment of waste, the construction of another waste-to-energy power plant, could be a purposeful and long-term solution.<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u201d<\/em><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H.E.
