Mr Bárta, like fellow ministers, is under pressure to introduce major cost-cutting measures in line with the government’s plan to slash the planned deficit in 2011 by more than 58 billion crowns. As a result, the Transport Ministry reportedly wants to freeze up to around 50 construction projects, including the completion of part of the D3 highway in South Bohemia. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/obchvat_prahy.jpg?timestamp=1591294583 Transport Ministry to put brakes on dozens of construction projects https://english.radio.cz/transport-ministry-put-brakes-dozens-construction-projects-8571425 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
