The Minister of Development, Alexandru Stoica, clarified that owners who closed their balconies years ago are not required to take any action due to recent legislative changes. He emphasized that the new regulations apply only to future works and announced an order to clarify procedures for both citizens and local administrations. Stoica reassured that there will be no inspections or pressures on owners regarding past balcony closures. For future balcony closures, a notification to the local council will suffice without needing a construction permit. He noted that many closures were made for weather protection and energy efficiency. Stoica confirmed that citizens understood they do not need to act regarding their older balcony closures.
