The contract for the demolition of the Vjesnik Tower in Zagreb was signed today between Construction Minister Branko Bačić and EURCO, a construction company based in Vinkovci.

A 30-day deadline now begins for completion of the first phase of the works, which includes eliminating safety hazards and creating the conditions necessary to reopen the underpass on Slavonska Avenue. The full project - including demolition of the 16-storey skyscraper and the disposal of construction waste - must be completed within three months of the contract signing.
