The project, with an estimated investment cost of EUR54 million, concerns the implementation of the first disposal cells of five inter-municipality sanitary landfills, transfer stations, recycling facilities and the rehabilitation of some 30 dumpsites. The investments covered by this loan will contribute to the creation of a nationwide solid waste management system, thus also reducing water and soil pollution.
This financing underlines the importance the EIB attaches to environmentally driven investments and safeguarding the environment, especially in Potential Candidate Countries, thus implementing one of the strategic objectives of the EU in respect of the harmonization of the standard of living of its citizens.
