The local authorities, however, claim the new road will positively change the area while protecting the environment. "We would not have taken up this project in the first place unless we had badly needed this road," Danut Buhaescu, mayor of Uricani, told SETimes.
Međutim, lokalne vlasti tvrde da će novi put doneti pozitivne promene toj oblasti istovremeno štiteći životnu sredinu. „Ne bismo ni preduzimali ovaj projekat da nam ovaj put nije bio preko potreban“, rekao je za SETimes Danut Buhaesku, gradonačelnik Urikanija.
