Romania's Defense Minister Raises Concerns Over Craiova Real-Estate Project Near Military Installation
Romania's Defense Minister Radu Miruta reported a real-estate project in Craiova that violates safety protocols by situating a nine-storey apartment block adjacent to ammunition depots. The Ministry of Defense had previously issued a negative opinion on the project due to non-compliance with legal distances.
However, the request was resubmitted and approved despite these issues. The building obstructs the radar trajectory of the Carcea military installation. In response, the Ministry initiated nationwide checks on construction approvals around military sites and is identifying personnel responsible for the change in opinion. Miruta asserted there will be zero tolerance for such violations.
