Preliminary contract for Belgrade bridge

"adding that the design phase will be completed within the next two months."

A "preliminary contract" (whatever that may be) is just singed and "the design phase will be completed within the next two months."

“the ministry “will not allow for the bridge completion deadline, set for the end of 2013, to be breached”.”

These promises will come back to haunt.

You see, who needs the World Bank! And, when the bridge is finished, all the Chinese workers imported by the Chinese contractor can stay and open Chinese shops selling cheap, inferior, possibly toxic, products to the citizens of Serbia, who won't be able to afford any better because of the 30% VAT the government will have to charge to pay for the privilege of financing the Chinese economy.
