Re: How Serbia spoilt best laid plans. (none / 1)

If it is in construction I saw no signs of it, and I had plenty of opportunity.

It could be well out of town but I saw little sign of riverside activity.

From the little I could find in lsnguages I understand, what definitely started was work site construction. That could be a concrete manufacturing site.

Where have you been near it? In Vidin, or Calafat, or both and you took the ferry?

BTW, the construction company is Spanish giant FCC.

I crossed the Danube on the Vidin-Calafat ferry. The google map shows that I should have seen the works , especially whilst I was waiting in Calafat.

I never saw anything.
