Crisis Management Body presents Action Plan
12 September 2001, Skopje
The Governmental Coordination Crisis Management
Body presented an Action Plan for funding of priority projects on covering
damages due to the conflict in Macedonia. The European Union granted Euro
30 million for this purpose and the European Commission should approve
this.
Four priority projects have been proposed to the EU Commission that are
necessary condition for returning of the displaced persons to their homes
and for building the confidence among citizens in the crisis areas. Reconstruction
of the power supply system in Aracinovo, Skopje and Kumanovo region will
require Euro 4,6 million, out of which 2,6 in Aracinovo and 2 million
euro in the Kumanovo region. The assessment for the Tetovo region and
Skopska Crna Gora have not been done yet.
Also financial compensation to 9,000 families that provided shelter to
the displaced persons will amount to Euro 5, 86 million, i.e. Euro 100
per family. About Euro 200,000 will be spent for accommodation of students,
as dormitories are occupied by displaced persons. UNHCR will grant DM
100 per month to 1,800 students for the next three months.
The highest priority will be given to reconstruction and rehabilitation
of destroyed houses in the crisis regions, where considering the current
security situation, there have been chosen several villages where the
reconstruction may be carried out, requiring 19,34 million euro. The first
phase includes the villages of Skopje region - Aracinovo, Brnjarci, Luboten
and settlement Ekonomija, in Tetovo region - Poroj, Djepciste, Neprosteno,
Lesok and Tearce, and Kumanovo region - Lopate, Opae and Matejce. According
to the assessments, a total of 1,350 houses are to be reconstructed. The
activities have to end by December this year. Implementation agency of
EU is carrying these activities.
