separate subproject, the size of compensation will be identified during
preoperational phase of RAP. These means will be financed at the expenses of
Project. The responsibility for timely payment of meant will give to PMU MIDP.

were allocated to the population for construction of private houses. These lands
were given recently, but on the one part of the land there is fundament already,
which reimburses the costs for the construction of a new foundation.
