The prime minister said on Thursday evening during a TV show that Romania's main priority as a future EU member is the Bucharest-Timisoara highway, not the Brasov-Bors one.
The Brasov-Bors highway contract signed with the U.S. company Bechtel will be financed based on how much money is left after the government allocates all the required funds for the pan-European highway between Bucharest and Timisoara.
Following Tariceanu's statements on Thursday, Bechtel representatives said that changing the budget for the Brasov-Bors highway will not amend the schedule of the construction or the contractual obligations of the parties.
