After the presentation, representatives of the Fund with the mayor Ibrahim Hadzibajric visited these four locations.
“They are especially pleased if the approved funds would finance projects that are of general interest for our citizens. In addition, they are pleased because Municipality solves the problems of citizens, although this should be covered by other competent institutions. By that I refer to the construction of the sports hall and the reconstruction of the Health Centre”, explained Hadžibajrić and added that at least two months are needed for the selection of contractors on these projects.
“They told us that the signing of the contract on approval of funds is expected in about two months and will be solved in Riyadh, and immediately after that, we can go continue with the procedure”, added Hadžibajrić.
Stari Grad Municipality will take credit for the development from the Saudi Fund for a period of 20 years, with a five-year grace period and an interest of 2%.
