Emil Boc, the mayor of Cluj-Napoca, asserts that funding for the city's metro project is secured through a contract with the Ministry of Transport. He dismisses concerns about the actual availability of funds, despite warnings from Horațiu Cosma, a former state secretary, regarding the over-contracting of European funding. Boc presented a financing agreement signed on September 28, 2026, detailing a total of 357 million euros, with significant contributions from European funds and the national budget. He emphasized the need for a clear timeline for construction progress and acknowledged existing technical challenges at the site. The mayor is pushing for concrete results after extensive planning and preparation.
