The new Minister of Development, Alexandru Stoica, addressed concerns regarding the new urban planning code during an Antena3-CNN interview. The code imposes penalties for unauthorized modifications to homes, particularly affecting apartment owners who have enclosed balconies. Stoica clarified that those who made changes before the code's adoption will not face fines, as the law is not retroactive. However, they must regularize their situation and pay taxes on the enclosed space. To comply, owners need to submit a project for approval by local authorities. Stoica reassured that there is no cause for alarm, but warned that non-compliance could lead to fines from the municipality.
