House restitution to end in 1.5 years

The nationalised houses retrocession process is to end in 18 months, at least in Bucharest. The City Hall will keep receiving files after the deadline for submitting notifications, no matter whether the Executive decides to extend it by another three months, Bucharest Mayor Traian Basescu said on Friday.

According to the latest evaluations, more than 15,000 houses and other spaces (restaurants, auto-services, and lands) will be restituted in Bucharest, mainly in the central and residential areas.
