Romania highlights PNRR project completions by Aug. 31

Summary: In the final two weeks of August, Romanian authorities issued frequent reports of renovated hospitals and schools, new motorway and rail sections, and completed water and sewage networks, tied to EU post-pandemic funding. The announcements were driven by an August 31 deadline to complete National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) projects, while a fact-check says the picture is more complicated than official claims.
