The Bucharest City Hall will allot EUR 1 million for the Salvation Cathedral in Bucharest, the biggest church in Romania, which is currently being built.

Bucharest’s General Council approved the budget amendment on Monday, September 11.

The City Hall will also allocate EUR 6 million to support disabled children, EUR 4 million for the Carol Davila hospital and EUR 3.8 million to modernize Bucharest's thermal energy distributor RADET. Another EUR 2.8 million will be allocated to acquire 12 snow melting machines.

Bucharest’s public bus and tram system RATB will get EUR 2.7 million to introduce air conditioning, following the budget amendment.

"The entire program is estimated at EUR 20 million. We’ll continue next year until no public transport is deprived of acclimatization," Firea said.
