Gondola lift

Ljubljana – Public transportation will continue to run during the festive season until the end of the year, even if it was initially relaxed only for the period between 15 and 23 December.

Infrastructure Minister Jernej Vrtovec said on Wednesday that trains and buses would run until further notice, but each vehicle could be filled only up to half capacity.

The Rarau Massif ski slope, a government-financed investment, officially opened on Saturday in the presence of Minister of Tourism Bogdan Trif.

A feasibility study for realization of construction of a gondola lift in Belgrade will be completed in the next three months, Mayor Sinisa Mali said on Friday.

This construction "could start in 2016," he also said.

Bulgarian Sports Minister Krasen Kralev has said that he expects that the construction of a second gondola lift in the mountain resort of Bansko will be cleared by the working group set up over the matter.

Kralev spoke in favor of the facility at a Wednesday sitting of the parliamentary committee on youth and sports.
