BC, Riga, 17.12.2014.Print version
The government decided today to spend EUR 1.6 million to cover additional costs for the national pavilion at "World Expo 20`15" in Milan, according to information acquired by LETA.
The said funds will be used for the construction job.
Economy Minister Dana Reizniece-Ozola (Greens/Farmers) explained that in order to build the Latvian Pavilion, the government will have to spend additional EUR 1.6 million. For this reason, the government had to pass one of the two Economy Ministry's decisions in regard to Latvia's participation in the exhibition.
The decision foresees additional allotment of EUR 1.6 million in order to continue Latvia's participation in the exhibition, taking into account the fact that the Latvian Pavilion could remain unfinished until May 2015.
