The purpose of the Project is to assist the Borrower in accelerating high-speed broadband rollout in white zones (without access to broadband network) across rural Serbia, focusing on schools as access points and priority rural broadband users. The Bank will finance design and construction of mid-mile fibre broadband infrastructure connecting 500 schools /public institutions in settlements in white in rural areas in Serbia to the existing fibre backbone network. The Bank acts as the lead IFI for this Project, which has received WBIF Steering Committee approval in December 2019 for a Technical Cooperation (“TC”) grant in the amount of EUR 1.7 million the for project preparation, which includes feasibility studies, cost-benefit analyses, indicative cost estimates, and preliminary designs.
(257) The MoTTT” will build mid-mile infrastructure from existing backbone to the schools, and will provide long-term right of use (25 years) to operators selected following an open competitive tender process, free-of-charge. In return, selected operators will in-parallel build the last-mile infrastructure connecting the schools to up to 80,000 surrounding households. The Project is part of a larger initiative and represents the first of two phases, whereas the second phase targeting up to 900 schools/public institutions and 135,000 households is planned as a separate project for 2021/2022.
(258) The MoTTT will publish open public calls including proposed locations of schools and a targeted number of households in the proximity of schools that should be covered by broadband infrastructure. The operators will then simply provide their fibre Points of Presence from which the MoTTT would build mid-mile fibre connections to schools. In case that an operator plans to invest in the target white area in next three years, they will inform the MoTTT about such investment plan so that the MoTTT may consider termination of state aid procedure for the relevant target area in the event that the conditions for the provision of state aid are not fulfilled anymore. Mid-mile connectivity in such white zones will not be deployed. In case operators see no economically viable case for such venture/investment, they will simply skip proving an interest during the open public call the MoTTT will publish.
(259) Mid-mile infrastructure will be deployed on a technologically neutral basis, ensuring that all telecom operators can compete. The Project aims to provide at least 100 Mbps connectivity (ultrafast broadband) to as many rural settlements as possible, in line with the country’s Strategy for the Development of Broadband Networks and Services (2014) and general EU aims (30 Mbps connectivity to all citizens, and 100 Mbps connectivity to at least 50% of the population by 2020).
(260) Deploying mid-mile connectivity to schools in white zones is expected to incentivise telecommunications operators to develop last-mile connectivity in white zones which are commercially unviable, and which without state intervention would remain uncovered for years to come. In settlements where there are no schools other public institutions (such as libraries or local community centres) will be used as access points. The MoTTT estimates that over 90% of access points included in the Project will be rural school.
(261) 2. The Project consists of the following Parts, subject to such modifications thereof as the Bank and the Borrower may agree upon from time to time:
(262) Part A: Design and construction of mid-mile broadband infrastructure
(263) Part B: Construction of last-mile broadband deployment by telecommunication operators
(264) 3. The Project is expected to be completed by 31 December 2023

(606) PRILOG 1 – OPIS PROJEKTA
(607) 1. Svrha Projekta je pomoć Zajmoprimcu u ubrzanju razvoja brzih širokopojasnih mreža u belim zonama (bez pristupa širokopojasnoj mreži) širom ruralnih područja Srbije, fokusirajući se na škole kao pristupne tačke i prioritetne korisnike ruralnih širokopojasnih mreža. Banka će finansirati projektovanje i izgradnju širokopojasne infrastrukture middle mile segmenta koja će povezivati 500 škola / javnih ustanova u naseljima u belim zonama ruralne Srbije sa postojećom širokopojasnom infrastrukturom. Banka deluje kao vodeća IFI za ovaj Projekat, koji je u decembru 2019. godine dobio odobrenje upravnog odbora WBIF za garant za Tehničku saradnju („TC”) u iznosu od 1,7 miliona evra, za pripremu projekta, što uključuje studije izvodljivosti, cost-benefit analizu, indikativne procene troškova i preliminarni dizajn.
(608) MTTT će izgraditi middle mile segment infrastrukture od postojeće širokopojasne infrastrukture do škola, i obezbediće besplatno, dugoročno pravo korišćenja (25 godina) operatorima izabranim putem otvorenog konkurentnog tendera. Zauzvrat, izabrani operatori paralelno će graditi infrastrukturu lastmile segmenta koja povezuje škole sa do 80.000 okolnih domaćinstava. Projekat je deo šire inicijative i predstavlja prvu od dve faze, dok je druga faza koja targetira i do 900 škola/javnih ustanova i 135.000 domaćinstava, planirana kao zaseban projekat u 2021/2022 godini.
(609) MTTT će objaviti otvorene javne pozive, koji uključuju predložene lokacije škola i ciljani broj domaćinstava u blizini škola koje bi trebalo da budu obuhvaćene širokopojasnom infrastrukturom. Operatori će tada prijaviti svoje tačke prisustva optičke mreže od kojih bi MTTT gradio middle mile segment do škola. U slučaju da operator planira da investira u ciljano područje bele zone, u naredne tri godine, on će obavestiti MTTT o takvom investicionom planu, kako bi MTTT mogao da razmotri obustavljanje postupka državne pomoći za odgovarajuće ciljno područje u slučaju da uslovi za pružanje državne pomoći više nisu ispunjeni. Povezivanje middle mile segmenta u takvim belim zonama neće biti primenjeno. U slučaju da operatori ne vide ekonomsku opravdanost takvog poduhvata/investicije, jednostavno će preskočiti dokazivanje interesa tokom otvorenog javnog poziva koji će MTTT objaviti.
(610) Infrastruktura middle mile segmenta biće izgrađena na tehnološki neutralnoj osnovi, osiguravajući da se svi operatori elektronskih komunikacija mogu takmičiti. Cilj Projekta je da obezbedi konekciju brzine od najmanje 100 Mbps (ultrabrzi širokopojasni pristup) što većem broju seoskih naselja, u skladu sa državnom Strategijom za razvoj širokopojasnih mreža i usluga (2014) i opštim ciljevima EU (konekcija brzine od 30 Mbps za sve građane, i konekcija brzine od 100 Mbps za najmanje 50% stanovništva do 2020. godine).
(611) Očekuje se da će izgradnja middle mile segmenta podstaći operatore elektronskih komunikacija da razviju lastmile segmente infrastrukture u belim zonama u kojima je ovakvo povezivanje komercijalno neisplativo i koje bi bez državne intervencije ostale nepokrivene u godinama koje dolaze. U naseljima u kojima nema škola, druge javne ustanove (poput biblioteka ili centara mesnih zajednica) biće korišćene kao pristupne tačke. MTTT procenjuje da će preko 90% pristupnih tačaka uključenih u projekat biti seoske škole.
(612) 2. Projekat se sastoji iz sledećih delova, koji podležu izmenama o kojima se Banka i Zajmoprimac povremeno mogu dogovoriti:
(613) Deo A: Projektovanje i izgradnja middle mile segmenta širokopojasne infrastrukture
(614) Deo B: Izgradnja lastmile segmenta širokopojasne infrastrukture od strane operatora elektronskih komunikacija.
(615) 3. Očekuje se da Projekat bude završen do 31. decembra 2023. godine.
