“The state will do all it can so that Hemus motorway can be built in accordance with the law,” Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works Ivan Shishkov said for the BNR.

In his words uncontrolled construction work without the permits necessary has been established in a variety of places. Deputy Minister Shishkov described the previously existing situation along the different sections of the motorway as a “construction illusion”. As to the allegations by the previous government that everything is perfectly legal and all that has to be done now is to build using the money that has been left over he stated: “They didn’t leave any money, they handed it all out, even for places where it is not even known yet which way the route will pass.”

The caretaker cabinet will leave the legislative solution for a way out of the situation to the next regular government.
