“We Continue the Change" proposes that road construction companies immediately receive half of the money due for roadworks (EUR 306 million). They will receive the remaining ammount when the National Assembly committees approve an expert report proving that the road construction activities are accomplished, Bulgaria’s Premier Kiril Petkov said after a meeting with representatives of road construction companies at Yana railway station.
According to Kiril Petkov, the proposal has already been sent to the coalition partners and will be voted in the National Assembly on Thursday, if the other three political forces have no objections. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian Branch Chamber “Roads” and Road Safety Bulgarian Branch Association are starting tomorrow national protests throughout the country.
