In a letter addressed to the President of the
Republic of Macedonia, Euro-Commissioner Chris Patten submitted
information on the activities of the European Agency for Reconstruction.
So far, a total of 875 houses (of all categories)
have been reconstructed. Several hundred houses are expected to be
reconstructed until the end of July, for the purpose of which 4.1 mil.
Euros will be invested. A total of 13.6 mil. Euros have so far been spent
for renewal of power supply networks in the regions of Skopje, Kumanovo
and Tetovo. In the past period, 2.700 host families (families that
accommodated internally displaced persons) were assisted with 75 Euros a
month.
The European Agency for Reconstruction prepared a
project worth 575.000 Euros aimed at solving the water supply problems in
Kumanovo. Until the end of this year, the Agency will allocate 3.6 mil.
Euros for reconstruction of 200 severely damaged houses, whereas
approximately two million Euros will be provided for de-mining.
