Behind them is the the room for sorting of luggage whose capacity is 1,500 luggages per hour and it is equipped with the up-to-date devices for detection of forbiden materials.

- By putting this terminal into operation we showed to the international financial institutions that we are company with the clear vision of what we want and how we can do it. Besides, we did not exceed the planned investment of 18m EUR, because the reconstruction cost 17m EUR - said Nedeljković.
