KABARDINO-BALKARIA. 18 January, Caucasus Times. On Tuesday in the republican governmental house a session was conducted, which discussed the perspectives of the implementation of the national project “Accessible Housing for Russian citizens”.

Gennadii Gubin, Prime Minister of Kabardino-Balkaria in his introductory speech informed that 4.9 thousands of people in the republic are currently living in ramshackle buildings that urgently need repair while 4.5 of people are living in the hostels. More than 14.9 thousands of families are waiting for their turn to improve their living conditions.

As participants of the session stressed, the main aim is to be included into the federal program “Accessible housing for Russian citizens” and to receive necessary resources.

Adib Abregov, Acting Minister of Construction and Communal Infrustructure, is hoping that according to rough estimates republic will get around 650 million rubles from the federal budget. Acting Minister also said that citizens should be openly informed that there will be no accessibe free housing available any more with the exception of some categories of the population.

Boris Endreev, Chairman of commercial bank “Nalchik” and parliamentary deputy of Kabardino-Balkaria compared the situation in construction sphere of the republic with the “moon landscape”. In his opinion, in order to save republican construction compex, it is necessary to “change our mindset and start working in Moscow” since republic does not have its own resources sufficient to finance housing construction. He was also quite sceptical about mortgage since low living standards don’t allow the population to use mortgage.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy.
