Project realization model

The Government is planning to select private partners to implement the tourist projects of the County according to the BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model. A project implementation agreement will be entered into with a private partner for each of the projects, which will be based on the following postulates:

The public sector will assign the private partner the right to construction and/or concession, whereby the private partner will be enabled to make commercial use of the project location owned by the public sector;

Based on the granted right to construction and/or concession, the private partner will be responsible for the design (from the conceptual design to the implementation design), financing, construction and operation of the buildings and facilities within the projects;

The private partner will use its own funds for the project implementation, with no participation by the public sector;

The private partner will achieve its interest by charging for the services it will offer on the market within the project operation;

The private partner will pay the public sector a periodical fee (annual or monthly) against the granted right to construction and/or concession;

The right to construction is assignable and may be encumbered by mortgage;

The right to construction and/or concession will become effective as of the agreement execution date, and the term of the agreement will be up to 50 (fifty) years;

The land to be used for the project implementation will remain property of the public sector for the entire term of the agreement. The private partner will remain the owner of the buildings for the entire term of the agreement, and will have the authorities and responsibilities of a beneficiary of usufruct with respect to the land the buildings are to be built on;

Upon expiry of the period provided for the use of the right to construction, the private partner will return the land to public sector’s possession and deliver the buildings to public sector’s possession and ownership. The private partner will be a company or a consortium of companies, which will take responsibility for the project implementation under the above-specified principles.
