Jurbarkas district expected to return EUR 1 mln in EU funds – daily

The district received funding for three projects under the program during the EU’s 2007-2013 budget period. Problems arose due to a project for improving the ecological condition of the Nemunas River by building sewage collection and treatment infrastructure in the Lithuanian village of Skirsnemune and in Neman, on the Russian side of the river.

The authorities both in Jurbarkas and Neman had until late 2014 to complete the work, but the Russians missed the deadline. Therefore, the Polish Finance Ministry demanded back in April that Jurbarkas, as the leading partner in the project, return the 962,000 euros that had been used for the project.
