The Ljubljana Passenger Centre, a EUR 350 million public-private partnership, is expected to get all the permits by the end of 2022 and could be completed in 2025.
Known as Emonika, the bus and train terminals will be funded and built by the state and the commercial part by Hungary’s bank OTP. Infrastructure Minister Jernej Vrtovec said: “We cannot afford additional years of unnecessary delays.” The project was conceived by rail company SŽ and Hungarian-Canadian Trigranit in 2007 but never took off. In May 2020, the government split it into a commercial segment and a public investment, with OTP as the new private investor.
