The transport of dangerous waste from Serbia's Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences is expected to start today. This is according to announcements coming from Infrastructure Minister Milutin Mrkonjic. Waste transported from nuclear facility He explained that a convoy of 32 containers, along with appropriate vehicles and equipment, will leave the institute in suburban Belgrade and head toward Subotica, in the north of the country. There, the nuclear waste will be loaded onto trains, which will travel without stopping from Serbia, via Hungary, to Slovenia. The waste will arrive to the Slovenian port of Kopar, and will be sent to Russia from there by sea. The transport operation will take 60 hours in all, said Mrkonjic. Serbia's police will secure the entire route, he said, shutting down "all other forms of traffic" on the Vinca-Subotica stretch. Serbia and Russia signed an agreement of removal of depleted nuclear fuel from the institute last year. Media speculated that the project was worth some EUR 25mn. In Belgrade, Zoran Dragisic, who teaches at the Faculty of Security, says that details of this transport should not have been made public for security reasons. Dragisic says terrorist or criminal organizations find waste of this kind to be "interesting merchandise". This expert criticized Mrkokonjic, who made the announcement when answering questions from MPs in the Serbian parliament, and said the minister "would not have lost much politically had he refused to provide an answer".
