PM Orban: Starting today, the Belina island will be under state management

Prime Minister Ludovic Orban on Thursday informed that the Belina island and Pavel arm of the Danube will be managed again by the Romanian state, as soon as the takeover procedures will be completed by the Romanian Waters Company.

"I have good news to give you: after a long period of time during which the Belina island and the Pavel arm were handled by the friends in Teleorman of the PSD [Social Democratic Party] and of Dragnea [former PSD leader] will be managed by the Romanian state again. Today we are signing the documents by which the Belina island and the Pavel arm will be taken over by the Romanian Waters Company. The handover process will be carried out by leaving aside the agreements concluded by the County Council with that particular beneficiary that you know very well - Tel Drum," showed the Prime Minister, in the beginning of the Government meeting.
