He says that a family of four with an appartment of 80 m2, on average would need EUR 1.500 for the internal installation. It will be subsidized by government measures.

This Government is focused to bring gas to each family. Not only to bring it but also make it cheaper. I believe that all the prerequisites have been created. At the moment the construction of the branches to Tetovo, Gostivar and Bitola is underway. I expected until the middle of the year the construction to be completed and by the end of 2020 the gas pipelines to be operational. Until then, the public-private partnership contract for construction of the distribution network should be concluded. The VAT for gas will be also reduced. We are preparing a series of measures for subsidizing the households, said Bajram Redzepi, the director of National energy resources for Morning Briefing at Slobodna TV.

He says that, a four-person family with an appartment of 80m2 on average would need EUR 1.500 for the internal installation. It will be subsidized by government measures. All social families will be subsidized and for the remaining households an operational plan through long term payments will be made, as is the case with all operators.

-Another 7-8 km should be built on the branch to Bitola, in order to be completed. I expect that in the second half of the year, the entire Pelagonia region will have gas. The gas pipeline on Vodno is already built. I contacted the nongovernmental organizations and I am really grateful to them. They helped to reduce the environmental impact, added Redzepi.
