President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday that the mosque to be built in Bucharest is in the process of obtaining the building permit.
The statement was made in Turkey, where the president met with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The information was presented Wednesday on Today’s Agenda on Antena 3.
The Government adopted on 27 May 2015 a judgment in which it provided to provide the Mufti Office of Muslims a land of 11,000 square meters in Bucharest, for a period of 49 years for the construction of a 2,000 people mosque.
The land in question is located next to the Romexpo Exhibition Centre, and it is valued at four million euros.
The only condition imposed by the government is that the construction of the mosque should begin in three years. The funding for construction will be provided by the Turkish state.
