Romania has 2.5 billion EUR so that the Romanians who were working in mining and refining also have a job after they close down, Minister of European Investment and Projects Marcel Bolos stated.
According to a press release of the relevant ministry sent to AGERPRES on Wednesday, all the calls of the Just Transition Programme (PJT), whose eligible area covers six counties of Romania (Gorj, Hunedoara, Dolj, Galati, Prahova and Mures), which has a budget of 2.53 billion EUR, will be opened in 2023. The first calls for projects out of the 87 funded by the PTJ will be launched in the second quarter of 2023 and target investments for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises supporting sustainable growth and job creation through grants.
