  • Over 200 companies are involved in the construction of the EXPO 2027 project in Serbia.
  • Some firms participating in the project have alleged ties to individuals involved in criminal circles and those close to the government.
  • The report raises concerns about the transparency and integrity of the bidding process for the EXPO construction.

Concerns are mounting over the companies involved in the construction of the EXPO 2027 project in Surฤin, Serbia. Over 200 firms have been listed as participants in building the expansive exhibition site. However, an investigation has revealed that some of these companies have alleged connections to individuals with known links to criminal activities, as well as those closely associated with the current government.

This revelation raises serious questions about the transparency and vetting process for companies awarded contracts on such a significant national project. The presence of firms allegedly linked to illicit networks or political insiders could undermine public trust and potentially compromise the integrity of the construction and its oversight. The report suggests that individuals with questionable backgrounds may be benefiting from state-funded infrastructure development.

The Serbian public is being urged to scrutinize the involvement of these entities. The article implies that the selection of contractors may not solely be based on merit or legitimate business practices. The proximity of some firms' associates to political figures is particularly noteworthy, fueling speculation about potential favoritism or undue influence in the procurement process for EXPO 2027.
