Just over EUR 33m in incentive funds will go for the construction of two water supply systems. The ministry earmarked EUR 5.3m for eight projects focusing on entrepreneurship promotion and business infrastructure.
Nine different projects dedicated to the construction of a cycling network will get a total of EUR 2.8m.
Development Council president Branko Drvarič said that this step marked the start of a new era and expressed hope that all projects would be carried out as planned.
He added that the region had hoped for more funds, as Pomurje continues to lag behind other regions in development. Many people in Pomurje decide to find work abroad, a problem the government must be aware of, he said.
