The complaint concerns essentially that an alternative trajectory for the highway section, as proposed by the Leskovac local Government had not been selected. The said alternative trajectory had been prepared by the Traffic Institute (CIP) and would cost EUR 11m less than the alternative which had been selected and would not require the construction of a tunnel. In addition, the complaint concerned a lack of public consultations on the project and the fact that the Project had never been presented to the local government of Leskovac which therefore had not given its consent. The City Assembly of Leskovac had informed the Serbian Government and the ministries and Public Roads’ services concerned, in 2008, that selecting such an expensive alternative for the project, in opposition to the choice of the local Leskovas’ authorities, would constitute a breach of the national law.
