Grandi Stazioni also operates beyond Italy's national borders: since December 2003, the company has adopted a position in the Czech Republic for the upgrading and management of three major railway stations: Praha hlavní nádraží, Karlovy Vary upper station (horní nádraží) and Mariánské Lázně. [2] In 2016 (after 13 years) Grandi Stazioni has failed to deliver the contractual obligation to reconstruct the Praha hlavní nádraží and has lost the lease. Grandi Stazioni has decided to sue the Czech Railway Infrastructure Administration for damages without providing the paperwork proving the actual costs spent. [3]
