KIEV, Nov. 19 – Donetsk-based Altcom Industrial Group and France's Bouygues Comapny are holding preliminary negotiations on the joint construction of roads in Ukraine.

According to a posting on the Web site of Altcom Group, the French company is ready to invest in the building of Ukrainian roads if the state provides traffic guarantees.

"The issue concerns the introduction of amendments to laws on concessions, according to which the investors in toll roads can receive partial compensation for their [investments] from the budget if traffic on these roads is not as intensive as expected," reads the report.
