You can see that the works have already started, the construction company made a promise that very soon, approximately in two years, the construction will be finished and apartments will be handed over to 1000 policemen. I would also like to inform you that the cost of the project amounts to 125 million GEL, the policemen will pay a symbolic price, I would say 300 GEL per square meter, it will be approximately like I mentioned before. What’s important is the fact that the remaining expenses will be fully covered by the state, the ministry. I would like to inform our hero policemen, who make us all feel proud that this project will not be a one-time project, the construction of police cities will continue in the future, and my wish is that it be guaranteed at the legislative level - that's what I wanted to say.Once again I would like to thank our hero policemen for everything they do to protect our country.
