More than 2,000 snow removal machines can be mobilized due to the difficult winter situation, Minister of Regional Development Andrei Tsekov said in an interview with BNR. According to him, all municipalities have agreements on road maintenance in the winter. “Their deadline has been extended until the end of the winter season, so the legal dispute about how these orders should be assigned in no way relates to our readiness and implementation of winter road maintenance,” the minister said.

The minister also expressed the hope that with the start of the new construction season, work will resume on the five highways that are currently under construction.
