51 additional apartments to be constructed thanks to savings

In March this year, the construction site in Konik, Montenegro, was inaugurated and construction works started to provide 120 apartments for the most vulnerable Roma families living in Konik camp. Six months later, important progress has been made: the works on 120 flats are progressing ahead of schedule and should be completed by August 2017.

Furthermore, thanks to budget savings, additional 51 apartments will be constructed for residents of Konik camp and the surroundings, thereby increasing the number of beneficiary families from 120 to 171. As regards the supplementary 51 flats, the apartment buildings have already been designed and building permits obtained under the IPA-financed project, thanks to which 48 vulnerable families from Konik camp received new homes in December 2015. These 51 flats are scheduled to be completed in April 2018.
