BELGRADE (Serbia), November 13 (SeeNews) - The deadline for the submission of binding offers in a tender to award a 25-year concession contract to operate Serbia's Belgrade Nikola Tesla international airport has been extended until December 8, local media reported on Monday.

The deadline has been pushed back at the request of bidders, news agency Tanjug reported.
