The changes to the Law on Urban Planning are being enacted now as a result of the budget revision passed yesterday and today’s approval of the Law on Financing Local Self-Government Units. We are committed to promptly distributing funds to the municipalities as promised. For the last four months of this year, we will transfer 100 million euros, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport AleksandarNikoloski said in an interview with Kanal 5 TV News.
Nikoloski stressed that they had promised to transfer funds to municipalities annually to resolve all infrastructure issues permanently, regardless of the mayor’s party. To make these budget transfers possible, the legal amendments had to be approved.
“Therefore, to construct schools, clinics, hospitals, and multi-story parking facilities that are fully owned by the state or the municipality and financed solely with municipal or state funds, simplified procedures can be used. This will enable municipalities to efficiently develop and execute plans for these projects,” said the transport minister.
