The Romanian Government has recently approved a program meant to modernize 10,000 km of national and local roads, connect villages to water and sewage systems and modernize the rural areas in Romania, the Regional Development and Tourism Ministry has announced. The program will take place between 2011 and 2020. The program also includes environment infrastructure, such as water management programs, works meant to protect against flooding.
