ber 2013. It will be most important water

, and will be pro-
viding drinking water to a population of

Funded by the EIB, the project has enabled
Aqualia to gain a foothold in the Balkans,
a region of great business growth in the
waste water treatment segment in the short
and medium term thanks to the European
pre-adhesion funds.
