Sofia Airport would be completed by December 15, Transport Minister Petar Moutafchiev said.

Until the project is finalised the construction company and the state would not change any terms, Darik Radio reported.

After long talks the ministry and Austrian Strabag signed a protocol, which envisions the conclusion of all work in two phases.

Once the work ends, both parties can negotiate financial compensation for the delay in the completion of the project and the additional expenditure Strabag made.

Questionable funds total six million euro. Moutafchiev said that the ministry would negotiate the most favourable terms.

Finalising work on the project was already extended several times. Additional problems arose with the collapse of part of the ceiling of the newly constructed terminal.
