The repair contracts have been awarded to four companies, which the Ministry of Defense announced publicly, with their selection being an exception to the Public Procurement Act due to national security reasons. The largest portion of the funds, just over EUR 50 million, will be allocated to the 16 shelters with maneuvering areas, taxiways and service roads.
