Residents of the cities of Morava and Kuchova are protesting against plans to expand the NATO airfield on their lands, since the compensation offered by the state is much lower than the market rate. It is reported by Euractiv.

It is reported that as a result of construction work, the locals may lose agricultural land. Earlier this month, activists said the Defense Department had offered them just € 1.90 per square meter.

Residents say the value of the land is much higher than the proposed compensation and are demanding a renegotiation of the terms.

On December 9, Defense Minister Niko Peleshi announced that work would begin in early January, calling it good news for the country and the region in terms of security. The politician also drew attention to the fact that this is good news for local residents, since “tens of thousands of euros” will be invested in the adjacent territory.
