WYG will help restore and upgrade transport, environment and energy infrastructures in the four-year, 15.3 million euro programme.

It follows work done on the 15.1m euro first phase of the project. The company said the two projects combined represent its largest international programme of work.

Keith Cook, a director at WYG, said: "This is confirmation that we are now the primary provider of donor-funded consultancy services in the Western Balkans.

"This contract represents a significant milestone in the development of WYG International as a major project management consultancy and justifies our long-term strategy for the Western Balkans region."
