Russian Railways can invest 1bn euros into Slovenia’s railways

"Options of Russian Railways’ participation in upgrade of Slovenia’s railway network are considered," Putin said after talks with Slovenian counterpart Borut Pahor. "Large-scale investments about 1 bln euro are the point at issue," the Russian president said.

Slovenian companies traditionally have good representation in Russian pharmaceuticals and agricultural sectors, Putin said.

"Russian constituent entities are also proactively working with their partners in Slovenia," he said. "Interregional ties are developing steadily," Putin added. ■
