French company Vinci Airports will place a binding bid alone, Politika said.
Earlier this month, Serbia's government said it has extended the deadline for submitting non-binding offers to June 21 from May 30.
The Serbian government owns 83.1% of Aerodrom Nikola Tesla, the operator of Belgrade airport. The company saw its net profit drop slightly to 3.2 billion dinars ($29.3 milion/26 million euro) in 2016, from 3.3 billion dinars a year earlier.
