After a question from the head of the “People’s Rally of the Epirus Region” Giorgos Prentzas, at the beginning of the meeting of the Regional Committee, Al. Kahrimanis informed that the Region of Epirus is positive, however the condition is that it drafts the declaration itself and has it approved by the Ministry and not the other way around. In fact, he charged officials of the Ministry with the responsibility for canceling the regulatory framework of the tenders.
