Kremlík: I respect the Prime Minister's decision
20/1/2020Press releases

I respect the Prime Minister's decision. My priority was to launch an electronic vignette system so that there was no delay and people could use it from next year. I believed that the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI) had such a contract entirely under control, and the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure repeatedly assured me of it. That is why I opposed the Prime Minister on the premature cancellation of the entire order.

Kremlík: I respect the Prime Minister's decision
I appreciate that the Prime Minister mentioned my move on the goal. At the Ministry of Transport, I started or completed a lot of things:
 
  •     we successfully and smoothly launched a new toll system, doubted and criticized by the media a thousand times by the way,
  •     we submitted an amendment to the Linear Act which is supposed to shorten the preparation of buildings by three to four years,
  •     modernization of the D1 motorway is progressing in line with the plan and will end in 2021,
  •     we accelerated the preparation of high-speed rail lines
  •     for this year we managed to negotiate a budget of 93 billion crowns, which will ensure that the record construction of motorways, category I roads and railways will continue
  •     on motorways, we finally managed to place the STOP-PROTISMĚR (WRONG WAY) sign on 66 most risky exits.


I would like to thank all my colleagues who helped me in my uneasy role of the Minister of Transport in the past months. I wish my successor good luck with finalizing a number of tasks.

Vladimír Kremlík
