Yordanka Fandakova, Mayor of Sofia Municipality: When the investment programme is being implemented, we always face a variety of objective reasons, such as procedures, appeal procedures, expropriation and appeal of expropriation. No one can guarantee that the investment programme will be 100% fulfilled. That's why we have a mechanism under which, in the summer, when we know which projects can be implemented and which ones not, we offer suggestions for changing and targeting funds in some of the other projects and priorities.
