GDDKiA and Police to get PLN 2.5 bln in EU subisidies

The General Director for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), together with the Chief Police Headquarters (KGP), have signed agreements for PLN 2.5 billion in EU subsidies for their projects. GDDKiA will construct nearly 145 kilometers of new roads, while the Police will send the money on equipment (police cars, dashboard cameras and laser speed meters), the Ministry of Development stated. The subsidies come from the Infrastructure and Environment Program. "The total value of planned investments in PLN 4.9 million, while EU subsidies - over PLN 2.5 billion. All these investments are to achieve the same goal – safety, which is just as important as shorter travel times," Deputy Development Minister Witold Słowik was cited as saying.
