The amendment will also make it easy the privatization process for the former owners of the land, the entities that have a lease or lease contract and it will be useful in context of legalization of informal constructions through the State Cadastre Agency.

Dhima clarified that the initiative has been sent for consideration to the government and the relevant government ministries, which have expressed their agreement with the proposal made to postpone the deadline for the use of privatization bonds.
