The 2021-2027 Intervention Investment Plan projects are “real investments, securing some citizens their livelihood,” Prime Minister Zoran Zaev said in response to the opposition’s claims that the plan was full of “empty promises.”
In a Klan TV interview, PM Zaev said the opposition’s claims were unfounded. He explained that the government has already approved of these investment proposals and state institutions were currently finalizing documents needed to start the projects.
He pointed out as an example the Popova Shapka project, which foresees the development of the ski resort’s surroundings as well. The investor should announce more details about it soon, Zaev added.
According to the prime minister, private investments, concessions, and public-private partnerships total 4 billion and 200 million euros, and public investments in infrastructure projects such as roads and railways total 3 billion and 800 million euros.
Considering the great number of projects, some of them may not be approved in Parliament, although he said he hoped all of them would be possible.
Zaev added that some investors have already announced their investments, including Lidl, the Alexandropouli project, and the 400-megawatt wind farm between Kumanovo, Staro Nagorichane, and Kriva Palanka worth 500 million euros.
