Our priority is to complete lot 1 of the Hemus highway from Boaza to Dermantsi by the end of this year, we have planned lots 2 and 3 by the end of 2026, the minister said in response to another parliamentary question. For lot 9, there is a building permit and field provision. Regarding lots 5 and 6, the minister pointed out that it is not possible to talk about illegal construction, because there are only ascertainment protocols, but no acts have been drawn up and after an inspection, no illegal construction was found. Regarding lot 8, the minister said that the section will follow the track that exists under the EIA, so that new design and accordingly new procedures are not required, and thus it will be possible to use all the ones that have been completed so far and there will be no delay.

After ruling, I was offered a draft approval of the final list, but I found inaccuracies, not considered even objections for one reason or another, came through different channels and colleagues thought that objections were duplicated, expecting them to be considered and ruled the final list, the minister pointed out. She pointed out that there is a very small number of inadmissible objections – 5, because there are gaps in the documentation that do not meet the requirements.
